- Description
- The razors designed for Braun from 1961 by Hans Gugelot, who taught at the Ulm School of Design, were among the first mass-produced products to be created according to the no-nonsense design philosophy of the Ulm School of Design and were therefore successful worldwide. They were advertised with women who clung to the smooth faces of men, and in the "Supersanft" object, kiss-ready lips expose the promise of a perfect technical device.
