Comment on Patent time: An overly complicated razor

That sounds horrible.
*“In drawing the razor over the face sufficient pressure is applied so that the roller 6 will transmit through the gearing described tothe crank-disk 161 a rotary motion, and as thesedisks rotate they will give to 'e ade 7 a reciprocating motion, longitudniahy as well as transversely, and in the forward .transverse movement the edge of the blade will travel obliquely against` the hair to be out and obviously will cut ,it more readily than when moved straight against it, as in the ordinary safety-razor.” *
So you just push the blade into your face to activate the left to right motion?

As far as I understand, yes, you press the razor against your face to make it shake, rattle, and roll.
Which sounds horrible to me, seeing as less pressure is better when it comes to sharp razors.

hmmmm, perhaps Frank is one step ahead of us and has equipped the razor with a fairly blunt blade :)
