Thread: "Magnetic steel" -- a gimmick?

I see several vintage razors advertised as being "magnetic steel"...

Are they talking about magnetized?
If so, was this just a sales gimmick, or does it serve some useful purpose?

Yes they actually are magnetized and as far as I know it was just a sales gimmick.

A time when you could claim anything you want without worrying about the Govt. or being sued.

Buyer beware was key then.

I have a Carbo Magnetic razor from the early 1900 period. The magnetic bit was likely a marketing thing. I don't see how a magnet would do any good. My blade, by the way, still has some magnetism remaining.

Honing call be a pain on those as the swarf sticks to it

Yes a sales gimmick, they use to say magnets had some medical advantage. Same thing is said today but with copper and joint health. They will say anything to separate our money from us. lol.

Come on guys

The "Magnetic Razor" as you surely know attracts the Iron in the blood as the extra blood rushes toward the skin from the attraction it makes the hair stand up just a tiny bit more which in turn allows the blade to cut it slightly closer...


















Funny part of this story is that Men today still fall for the same type of BS advertising

Glen, you might be onto something here. I guess I gotta get a magnetic razor now to find out. If it doesn't work out though, perhaps is will 'reduce swelling and restore the body's electromagnetic energy balance, lower depression, and help with Alzheimer's and schizophrenia'.

And, maybe bleed like heck if one manages to cut oneself?

Of course... your name has to be "RUSTY" for it to work really well for you!
