My dad switched from a DE to electric in the late 60's and never went back. He always had a 5 o'clock shadow beginning around 9am. In the 1960's I had both a plastic DE razor with foam AND a battery operated electric razor that made a buzzing sound.
I remember my dad shaving in the 1950,s until he bought an electric razor mid 60,s. I can't remember what soap or razor, brush he used but they would have been quite cheap, and bought from a local store.
Anyone know what was around then?
I don't recall any guy having bumps or irritation from shaving.
