OH OW... Torture Device Alert!

[NickedUp]

Just a hair over eighty smackers will net you this wondrous machine, listed as a "Racine Senior Deluxe Electric Razor". Looking like an unholy union between a NEW and a power detail sander, this thing scares the p*** out of me. Just the thought of unfused AC zapping along right next to my face as I cover the razor with foam and water makes me shudder.

A vibrating razor is one thing, but who could keep angle and pressure together while hefting this monster around their face?

A vibrating razor is one thing, but who could keep angle and pressure together while hefting a 5lb motor around their face?

I like hefty razors, but this looks like too much for me.

Have you at least plugged it in to see if it works?

Oh no, I wouldn't think of buying the thing- I just found it to be an intriguing curiosity.

The Stahly Live Blade has nothing on that thing.

All those wonferful little amps looking for a place to go....with an UNgrounded cord.
I would recommend shaving on a rubber mat!!

Nothing like a little electricity to get your beard to stand at attention before cutting.

I think I have spotted one on the bay for a lot less last week, just could not get myself to spend the money on it.

What were they thinking.

Aggressive is a word often misused in the world of razors.
But here is one machine, that truly can live up to it

That belongs in a horror movie!

Looks like something they found covered in blood at Abu Ghraib.

I wouldn't worry much about getting overly zapped if all your bathroom outlets are GFI's.. And if they aren't, they really should be.

The Stahly Live-Blade also certainly shaves better than that thing!

Silly people.

Of course you can pick it up for less than $80 from time to time.

All this trash talk and no one's tried it? Then how can you say how it works? Ground fault interrupter circuits are your friend. That, and keep your other hand in your pocket while you grasp the razor.

You first!

Sorry, I don't have a ground fault interrupter in my bathroom.

'Looks like a neat razor to me though.

Lots of this type of razor were once on the market. Look here:

This guy is nothing compared to the Lek-Tro-Shave of 1913

I'm sure the ballance is perfect...

 

[r0ckrat]

with the two posts, that would be an old type head though, not a NEW.

Could you imagine getting hernia surgery or a vasectemy and the nurse walked in with that device to shave you? I would jump out the window or at least give her a good shoulder block to get out the door. AAHHHHH!
