1935 - Electric dry shaver, model: Harab
The black dry shaver with bakelite housing only has a simple shaving comb without a larger cutting surface made of perforated or sieve foil. In this early functional system of dry shavers, the shaving comb system, a toothed upper blade is moved back and forth on a fixed, also toothed lower blade. The "Harab" works with 110 volts and cannot be switched to any other voltage. The "Harab" was the first electric shaver to be launched in Switzerland in 1940. The shaving comb system is similar to that of long-hair clippers.
