What exactly is a non electric dry shaver?

Well, the only one that comes to mind is one that's often called the "Monaco" or the "Brevette", though it has no real name. Many of these were made in Monaco and Brevette is French for "patented". They wind up using a key, and a series of gears drives the rotary shaving blades. So, theoretically, if there were no power or water, one could still shave.

I have a couple of them (pic below) and they do a fair job of shaving. Works best after face has been washed and thoroughly dried.
