In 1983, the American company Lumishave Inc. released a razor of the same name powered by two AAA batteries. However, its circulation was probably small. This is very rare.
This should be an interesting thread, thanks for starting it! The Lumishave is quite unusual, I hadn't heard of it. With the light in it, I could shave at night in the dark!
I don't have anything to suggest myself, but the "romantic razor" posted earlier seems relevant.
Stahly Live Blade Razor. The bottom knob gets wound up and an eccentric weight causes the guard to shift back and forth. With whiskers being held in the guard it creates a slicing motion when they contact the edge of the blade.
Does it work? Good shave?

My exploding razor knows secrets
In addition, "Cintika" is also very suitable to be included in this thread.
Novelty CINTIKA / CA DANIELS&CO razor - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/novelty-cintika-ca-daniels-co-razor.644304/
In 19?? Ever-Ready made a battery operated lighted razor 
On/Off by screwing the bolt in bottom to contact battery/s.
Diameter roughly of AA, but 2 x AA are too long, so some weird 'old' battery/s???
Overall 5.5inches long.

A Reel Watch Razor
It has a single edge band blade, approx 3 feet long unfortunately as blunt as a spoon.

Say what you like about the Stahly, the heads are the bomb if you like fairly mild shavers.
I have one I fitted to a custom Cooncat Bob handle. Excellent razor.
I gave it a try the other day and with all of the buzzing the mechanism makes I couldn't tell what the proper angle was to hold it at. It's not that loud, but you do have it right near your ear. I should try it without it wound up and get the angle down first.
Although my pal Andi could hear it too and wondered what it was.
When a Stahly explodes
Twelve months to get that far, and another twelve to get the bottom half apart to find the little end of the spring broken
Currantly thinking

Early 1900's Razor from Unsinger Novelty Company
Naidu Rasant
Designed by Gopalswamy "G.D." Naidu - "the Edison of India" - and made in Heilbronn, Germany by Kaco, the Kupfer-Asbest Co in the mid-1930s. Another battery powered vibrating razor.
After a terrifying trip into the dark world of vintage radio enthusiasts I was able to track down what I believe are the correct batteries for this but alas, it would appear that the motor is kaput. I fear that I shall never know this behemoth in its full vibrating glory.
For a true sense of scale, here it is next to a Merkur Futur
