The Stahly "Live Blade" razor was invented by P.G. Stahly of South Bend, Indiana. The
Stahly was among the first double-edge razors to vibrate the head,
reducing the blade's tendency to catch on dry spots, and skin
irregularities. The idea (then as now) was to reduce irritation and
provide a smoother shave. The bottom of the razor contained a watch-type
torsion spring that the user wound up immediately prior to shaving. The
spring powered a small eccentric crankshaft that caused the head to
vibrate. It would vibrate for about three minutes between windings at
about 3000 oscillations per minute.Permanently lubricated. Several models were marketed from 1946 until the 1970s, differing mostly in case and finish. This razor appears to be from the 70's judging from the box and illustrations in the directions. Also comes with the original warranty registration card. The chrome finish is from the finest jewelers chrome. Razor can be completely submerged even when on. ____________________________________ Other info: Items are sold as is due to the fact most items for sale are used /old.
