↓↓
An electric razor (denki kamisori in Japanese) is a grooming tool used for shaving hair, particularly facial hair, by using electric power to move the razor’s blades. Electric razors provide a convenient, efficient, and often quicker alternative to traditional manual razors or shaving with a blade. They are commonly used for shaving the face, but some models are designed for body hair as well.
History
↓↓
The electric shaver is a device that uses motorized blades to cut facial or body hair without water or shaving cream.
The first practical electric shaver was invented by Jacob Schick in 1930, building on earlier prototypes from the 1920s.
Early models used oscillating or rotating blades powered by motors, allowing quicker and safer shaving than manual razors.
By the 1950s and 1960s, electric shavers became widely available for home use, with improved designs and portability.
Modern electric shavers feature rechargeable batteries, foil or rotary blades, and sometimes wet/dry functionality.
Today, electric shavers are common worldwide for daily grooming, offering convenience, speed, and skin protection.
