Combi DL5 Electric Razor, 1957
This is a Electric Razor. It was co-designed by Dieter Rams and manufactured by Braun AG. It is dated 1957 and we acquired it in 1986. Its medium is molded plastic, cast metal. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
In 1950, Dieter Rams and Gerd Alfred Muller introduced their first electric razor with a patented foil and cutter head. From then on, electric razors were a central product category for Braun. This model has the addition of a fixed-position trimmer on one side of the head, thus earning the "Combi" title.
