Shaving made easy: What the man who shaves ought to know.

[Delenm]

Hey guys,
I came across this PDF document, a book written in 1905 about shaving. It's called, "Shaving Made Easy: What the Man who shaves ought to know".

Apparently the copyright has run out on this book and it's "open media" now. I found this link on artofmanliness.com.

Wonderful insight on how to shave and a few pointers that you may find interesting/helpful but it's is pretty much everything that's already been said on B&B.

And sorry if this is a repost...

Enjoy:

Very nice. Its amusing to me that he basically writes off DE's in favor of straights. But then again, I have been wanting to check straights out too!

This is an awesome find! I especially love pages 21 & 22, the chapter devoted to safety razors. "... if a man uses one he is less likely to cut himself, but that is all that can reasonably be said in their favor."
