Remington

 

Type: Shaving Machines

​

Manufacture :  Remington Rand, USA

​

​

Remington started out as E. Remington and Sons, a manufacturer of firearms and typewriters founded by Eliphalet Remington in 1816 in Ilion, New York.

 

The Typewriter division of the company was sold and merged with the Rand Kardex Corporation, becoming Remington Rand in 1927.

 

The new Remington Rand company would venture into the personal care industry and in 1937 they introduced their first electric razor, the Remington Model E Close Shaver.

 

Compared to other shavers from that time, Remington’s Model E had a key advantage:

a thin metal foil that covered the cutting blades, providing superior comfort during the shave.

​

​

 

This concept would eventually be implemented by everyone and it became the foundation of today’s modern foil shaver.
