Shave items everywhere

[crawpapa]

I took my family down to Kitty Hawk to the Wright Brothers memorial and I keyed in on the shave brush, an Ever Ready. Odd that I'm in a historic place, the birthplace of flight, and I want to know what kind of shave brush they used, or at least what the prop they used.

Neat.

I'm not surprised. In 1905 they didn't have cream in pressurized cans. I'm just curious what razors they used.

Nice

I'm thinking "OMG, don't leave the brush in the cup like that"

Very interesting, also wondering what razor they used at that time..... SE, DE or straight.

Very observant.

There was no razor, but my guess was for 1903 was a straight razor. Probably couldn't leave something like that out because of safety concerns. Above it on the wall was a little mirror. Creature comforts of the early 1900's left a lot to be desired for us modern day shavers.

I was wondering that too! Not sure if it was some kind of powdered stuff they added water to, or something in a tube.

Probably Williams Mug Soap...
