Stim-U-Lax

Eduard Zavurov giving a customer the Stim-U-Lax treatment at his Arizona shop.  Date unknown.


You may remember this vibrating device which the barber rubbed on your neck after a shave or a haircut.  The Stim-U-Lax, patented in 1933, is a handheld massager which many of us recall fondly from our youth.  Surprisingly, the Stim-U-Lax is still being produced today.

Vintage Stim-U-Lax with original packaging.








Current model by Oster.  As you can see, the design hasn't changed much since the 1950s.
