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. |
