70 razor and shaving patents: A semi-curated selection of important, interesting, inessential, and plain odd shaving related patents Paperback – March 9, 2020

by Hans Marius Andresen (Author)
4.4 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
Shaving does not have to be a chore if it’s done right. It can be a quiet, reflective moment – a moment of tranquility in a chaotic world, a fleeting feeling of Zen.
But just how did the refined tools of the traditional shave develop? What missteps was taken, what dead ends discovered? What solutions in search of problems were dreamt up and patented in order to make our daily shave better?
Showcasing a selection of razor and shaving related patents – some of them important in the development of the modern safety razor, others are interesting, inessential, or plain odd – "70 razor and shaving patents" explores some of the roads not taken to get to the daily bathroom routine of making faces hairless we know and enjoy – or at least endures.
"70 razor and shaving patents" is meant as a somewhat serious, somewhat humorous little rump through the patent history of razor and other shaving related accoutrement, and is lavishly illustrated with the original drawings from the patent applications.

    This is a very unique and interesting book. I have always enjoyed early 20th century patents. This book is full of them - 200 pages worth - all related to traditional wet shaving.

    What I appreciate the most is the author's commentary. He points out the most interesting aspects of the patent in a couple of short paragraphs. This isn't always obvious from the patent drawing itself, so the author has done the work of reading through the patent and describing the vision and features of the invention.

    The book is easy to flip through with interesting pictures and easy-to-digest commentary.
