He did come up with a monstrous device that was much to big to market, but it had to be further developed to make it easier to handle. He waited until an electric motor that was small enough to fit into a hand-held device, but also powerful enough to cut through a beard, was developed. He sold his first electric razor in 1931 for 25 in New...

That said, no one wants to be the one who is holding on to a position that they are no longer good at, especially in a field that has superior talent waiting in the wings.
