"Modern Marvels" S8/E21 More Gadgets - First Saftey Razors

[aodenkou]

Gentlemen,

I was just flipping through the channels and found an interesting episode of Modern Marvels. There is a bit on safety razors and their development.

One tidbit 1977 interview with Fidel Castor stated he would not have grown his trademark beard if his supply of gillette razor blades had not been cut off during his guerrilla days in the mountains of Cuba.

I hope you find it as interesting as I did.

Interesting about Castro. Blame everything on the capitalist imperialist war mongers! Just kidding, LOL.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

And of course using a straight razor was outside his experience.

I know this is an old thread, but I went hunting and couldn't find the Modern Marvels clip. However, I did find this from "How It's Made"
