A bit shocked to see an electric razor in this picture. Thoughts?

Caption Contest maybe? I don't really have anything to give away except my appreciation and admiration.

That's not an elecric razor, it's a cell phone, proving that time travel exists.

Perhaps that's the 13th doctor inspecting the contraption?

Great pictures! Wow, what a way to get a young kid practicing using straights even before he can use them! Hee hee.

Anyone interested in old photos, Shorpy.com is a great place to waste time when not spending time wisely at B&B.

Electric shavers were a pretty big deal back then. Colonel Schick even gave up the repeating razor business after he invented the electric shaver.

No caption, but that is at the old Crowley's department store in Detroit! I really with that Crowley's and Hudson's were still downtown. Anyway, cool pic. I agree that it's odd that there's not a DE or brush in sight.

Maybe they are just around the corner.

I've started to develop an affection for historic photos such as these. I think a lot of my late father's influence is definitely rubbing off on me.
