Razor Types
There are many different types of shaving razors available on the market. Originally the only razors available were straight razors. Today straight razors are mainly used by barbers, but are very rarely seen. Safety razors made their way to the market by the 19th century. Safety razors are still the most commonly sold razors on the market. Electric razors debuted in the early 1900's and are still popular today. Original electric razors could only be used on dry skin, however modern razors are readily available that allow the use of shave cream, soap or water. -
