Thorens Riviera Shaver | ||||||||
The Apollo 14 mission carried a wind-up shaver, to allow the astronauts to shave without resorting to a blade and shaving cream. That shaver was a Monaco shaver, and the manufacturer heavily marketed it as the "shaver that went to the moon." Although this wind-up shaver implies that it is of a type carried on an Apollo mission, it appears that the Thorens Riviera shaver was manufactured by a different company and dates back to the 1950s. I could find no information to indicate that a Riviera flew on an Apollo mission. This site has some information on the Thorens Riviera, including a number of vintage advertisements. | ||||||||
