Description

A portable razor made by Watt Magic Razor and branded to Reed Tool Company. A plastic, black razor is contained in a cylinder. The body of the cylinder is black with two thin gold bands, one placed at the top and one at the bottom. A small, gold logo is placed in the middle of the body with text that reads, "REED TOOL COMPANY", and to the left, a gold "R" is placed in the middle of a starburst outline. Six groups of three grooved lines run vertically along the body of the razor. The bottom of the razor features debossed illustrations of how to twist and open the razor. The razor is black with two metal blades. The box is small and made of cardboard with a clear plastic window to see the razor packaged inside and a blue ombre background. The face with the clear plastic displays an image of the razor opened. The face to the left is an image of a black and yellow checkered version of the razor with a white arrow above it pointing down with black text reading, "Freely flexible Blade". The back face of the box displays three white squares with black illustrations of instructions on how to open the razor and attach the blades. The last face of the box displays white text with bullet points discussing the product with the headline, "WATT MAGIC RAZOR". This same text is placed on the top flap of the box. The bottom flap displays small white text with patent numbers.
