52-ماكينة الحلاقة الكهربية جاكوب شيك أمريكي 1928م - 1931م

- ابن عامل منجم ولا يعرف متى مات والديه فهو مجهول الطفولة
- تطوع في الجيش في سن العشرن وشارك في الحرب في الفليبين
- في وقت لاحق أصيب هناك الديزنتاريا وكاد يموت وظل مريض لمدة عام كامل
- نقل للخدمة في منطقة الاسكا وهناك اخترع متممة الحلاقه
الكولونل جاكوب شيك Jacob Schick ( عاش 16 سبتمبر 1877 - 3 يوليو 1937 ) هو مخترع أمريكي اخترع أول ماكينة حلاقة كهربائية في نوفمبر 1923. وفي عام 1935، قد غير جنسيته إلى الكندية لتفادي تحقيق من الكونجرس بشأن تهمة التهرب من الضرائب بعد أن نقل معظم ثروته إلى شركات قابضة في البهاماز.
في عام 1898، تطوع في الجيش الأمريكي وشارك في الحرب الأمريكية الفلبينية ثم عاد إلى الولايات المتحدة عام 1908 مصاباً بالزحار، حيث تقول إحدى الروايات أنه بدأ في تصميم أول نسخة من ماكينة الحلاقة. ثم رُقي إلى ملازم أول وانتقل بعد عام إلى ألاسكا حيث ساعد على مد خطوط تلغراف للجيش. ثم تقاعد رسمياً من الجيش في عام 1910. إلا أنه عاد للخدمة العسكرية في الفترة من 1916-1918 برتبة كابتن (ثم ليوتنانت كولونل) بسبب الحرب العالمية الأولى.

Jacob Schick was an American who was born in Ottumwa, Iowa. He grew up in the southwestern USA. He showed a knack for management and a genius for invention at an early age. When he was 16, he was in charge of a railway line that ran from Los Corrillos, New Mexico to a coal mine his father had opened.

Schick enlisted in the 14th U.S. Infantry in 1898. He went to the Phillippines a few months later with the 1st Division 8th Army Corps. He was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant and returned to the U.S., but went back to the Phillippines from 1903 to 1905 with the 8th Infantry. He returned to the U.S. at that time because of a severe attack of dysentery, and spent a year recovering. During this time, he was promoted to 1st Lieutenant.

Schick's doctor suggested a transfer to colder climates for health purposes, so he went to Fort Gibbon in Alaska to join the 22nd Infantry. His health improved and he was instrumental in laying out military telegraph lines stretching over 1000 miles in the frozen Alaskan interior. He also invented during this time the General Jacobs Boat, which was particularly useful in shallow water.

Schick retired in 1910 after deciding to do some gold exploration in both Alaska and British Columbia. On one of these trips, he sprained his ankle and had to remain close to camp while he recuperated. He killed a moose for food to eat during his forced imprisonment. In the -40° Fahrenheit weather, Schick found it quite difficult and unpleasant to shave and with time on his hands he resolved to come up with an improved method. He drew up crude plans which would feature a shaver with a shaving head driven by a flexible cable and powered by an external motor. The plans were sent off to manufacturers and promptly rejected. Schick put these plans on hold for a time and when World War I broke out, Schick returned to active duty as a Captain. Schick was placed in charge of the U.S. Embassy in London, in charge of troop transport in England. He was promoted to Major, but his health problems came back. After recuperating, he was placed in charge of the Division of Intelligence and Criminal Investigation. In this function, Schick was promoted to Lt. Colonel.

Jacob Schick said that he first conceived of the idea of an electric razor while recovering from dysentery, which made struggling to the sink for a daily shave an arduous task. It took him more than a decade to overcome the technical challenges and devise a machine for shaving without soap and water. Along the way his first business venture was a traditional razor with injection cartridge blades, allowing users to replace blades without touching the sharp edges. He also patented a boat for shallow water use and an improved pencil sharpener.

His first electric razor required the use of two hands, one to hold the bulky engine, while the other hand held the whirling razor attached to the motor by a dangling cord. The two-handed Schick dry razor was introduced in 1929, but sales were sluggish until the one-handed model was introduced in 1931. By 1933 Schick was a millionaire, and his company relocated offshore to escape American corporate taxes. He transferred most of his wealth to four holding companies in the Bahamas, and as the Joint Congressional Committee on Tax Evasion & Avoidance looked into this arrangement he made the investigation moot by moving to Montreal and becoming a Canadian citizen. Schick's company is now owned by Energizer Holdings.

With the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898, Schick traveled to Portland, Oregon, to enlist in the U.S. Army Infantry. Serving in the Philippines, his fluency in Spanish and ability in organizing military construction crews won him a commission as a second lieutenant. After the war he remained in the army, returning to the Philippines in 1903 to serve in the occupation of the former Spanish colony. During this second tour he contracted a severe case of dysentery that almost claimed his life. After a yearlong recovery in the hospital, he was declared fit to remain in the service, with the stipulation that he be stationed in cold climates, where risk of another bout of dysentery was minimal.
