    Great. However, you may have noticed this site is devoted to straight razor/double edge razor shaving.

    What a coincidence. I have a Sunbeam Shavemaster electric in it's original case from around 1948 also made in the U.S. So what does that have to do with straights and DEs and such? Well in my case the cutter is a simple single edge razor blade attached to a holder and this massive electric motor which just makes it vibrate under the foil.

    I looked it up. Pretty crazy design.

    Thanks
