Mail call: Williams Travel Razor

[Gryffindor]

This little duder arrived today.

There is a head and arm inside the tube.

This opens like a lipstick. Hold the tube and twist the bottom. The arm begins to come out.

Once the arm fully extends, the head flips into shaving position.

It arrived today, and I’ve not shaved with it yet. Trac IIs do pretty well for me, though.

That's a really cool razor, @Gryffindor!

 

[slybrewguy]

Haha, cool!

Very cool. It's a Trac II so it should be a great shaver.

Thanks for sharing that little beast with us Todd. I remember a family member had one years ago but it didn’t have a brand on it from memory. Nice to see they are still a few around.

This razor is usually sold under the name "watt magic razor".
And enter the gift and marketing market through OEM cooperation, so there are many renamed versions such as Avon, Gillette, Sorone, etc., but they are all the same things.

The original design was designed by Taiwanese "Yan Longwu", and won the silver medal at the 1992 Nuremberg Invention Exhibition in Germany. Unfortunately, his company has been closed for many years, so the razors that can be found in the market are likely to be in stock many years ago.
He has obtained patents in many countries, the following is the original patent information.

Here's mine. It has a few different shell variations but all belong to the same inventor's design.

I may have to track one of these down in case I ever get to travel again.
