I managed to find this gem in the catalog. Going to print it on glossy paper and toss it in a frame for the den.

This might look nice as well.

I searched "Shaving" on Archive.org and found this really old manual:

Directions to enable any person to swim with the help of his hat only; and for the recovery of persons who are drowning, and those who are apparently drowned. Also the art of shaving, containing new and complete instructions on that important art, and on keeping the razor in good order. A method of using coals; by which nearly one-half of the usual expence may be saved: and of making a substitute for beer, with little expence, and less trouble and of curing corns : University of Leeds.

It's from 1810

I was thinking the same thing.
The image is not very large though, probably won't print well.

You can buy this poster on Etsy though:

There is a very short section on the Safety Razor. Pages 20-21
They didn't recommend it:
"Probably a hundred thousand safety razors have been sold in the United States within the past few years and it is extremely doubtful if ten per cent of them are now in use."
