You can plug it in to heat it up, right?

Is it a See-Gee (Coil Guard) Airweight, the flagship razor for CG Manufacturing of Molina, Illinois? The innovative and inexpensive design featuring Bakelite and stainless steel at first captured the imagination of shavers all across the country and its clog-proof guard was a major selling point. However a design flaw meant the razor would send CG into a financial death spiral. It seems that the designers did not take into account the thermal stress imposed on the steel guard coil by the cycle of warming in contact with the shaver's face before being cooled as the razor was rinsed. This repeated expansion-contraction caused the guard to fail at the point where its end was hooked into the base plate. The sudden contraction of the spring would trap skin between the coils. In addition the shaver's reaction always resulted in a severe cut. When a series of these failures occurred in obstetric wards at hospitals all across the nation a class action lawsuit was initiated. The razor even had a minor impact on the entertainment industry when a coil break led to the cancellation of a Burlesque performance by Gypsy Rose Lee. Or maybe not.

Okay, maybe it's a Flo Max.

It's a Rio! Kia still uses those springs as the shocks in its luxury vehicle of the same name.

Here is a "mint" version of the vehicle in question.

That's an incredibly clever design

I assume that is a rhetorical question. If not, well, all of the clues pointed in the same direction ...
