It was made to follow the natural curves of a woman's body, which makes shaving more comfortable and smoother. Due to its success, several businesses began producing electric razors specifically for females. Nonetheless, the Shavemaster was the preferred option for women in the 1960s because of Lady Sunbeam's elegant style and portability.

4. The Dippity-Do

Where It Was Sold: Macy's Company, Waldgreens Dippity-Do Initial Cost: $2–$5* In 1965, Dippity-Do made its debut on the market as a setting lotion intended for use by women with hair rollers. But Dippity-Do quickly made the transition to hair shaping without the use of rollers. Without an abundance of Dippity-Do, the iconic bouffant hairstyle would not have been feasible by the late 1960s.
