Told my wife I'd try doing a video of it so if she comes in after she wakes up and see's me on the floor dead, she'll have in on tape so to speak

Looking forward to your "High Tech Electric DE" shave.

Ain't got none of those beer thingy's but have a bag of the rubber gaskets for a hose connection which hopefully will do the trick for raising my brush Knot (Maggard's 2 Band Badger) I set in another Trotter Handcraft handle. Setting up for 1 day this week.

In getting some brush envy over here! Beautiful brush!

So here's some info I found about this Vintage Electric Safety Razor and a pic of a complete set.
Racine
Racine (a town in Wisconsin USA) is famous for its lighthouses, but even more for its important role in the development of small electric motors. Several manufacturers of electrical products were established in Racine. The Racine Senior DeLuxe and the DeLuxe Esquire were manufactured by Racine Universal Motor Co. in the 1940s. This company's policy was to produce the motors for various products, and have specialised manufacturers produce other parts, like in this case the Gillette Company the shaving head. Racine Universal Motor Co. already existed in the 1920s and also produced hairclippers (brand Race and others), hairdryers etc. The company sold its OEM-products to various wholesalers, like W.L. Henne of Erie (PA USA) who sold the razor as Vibo-Shaver.

Great video and you survived!

Great Job! Even if it did not give a better shave than your SE RFB, I applaud your skills at bringing back that razor! When I saw the re-wiring photos, and read how you went all the way to the motor, I felt proud that you did it. Seriously, well done!

And you are pronouncing the town correctly, "raw Seen." I had family there, a great aunt who whenever she visited, she brought us this great baklava from her favorite pastry shop.

I am reminded of the Nothing new under the sun adage with this razor. So gimmicky now and gimmicky then! But vintage cool, nonetheless!

Really nice video Dave. You don't see a razor like that every day!
