We just looked at a pair of John Heissenberger’s wedge razors. Simple, sane razors… so off course he had to do as so many others and patent a face moistening razor that stretches and lathers the skin. Because quitting while ahead don’t occur to most people, I guess.

Unlike Gillette, and EverReady, Christy, and others, John Heissenberg still didn’t opt for a flat, replaceable blade. He stuck with the wedge blade he was familiar with instead. What he did change was the way to secure the blade, as well as adding complexities. Complexities in the form of a folding roller for face moistening.
