I miss the 1890s to 1990s when dudes with big beards used to actually do DIY shit

Like single bladed safety razors where you could shave yourself at home easily versus having to maintain straight razors or visit a barber?

But Muir's invention was meant for himself, while Gillette's razor was clearly not meant for himself. Or was he shaving his neck? So I see these as two different kinds of inventors. Randal Peltzer in Gremlins is more like Muir.
