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?
