A comment on another thread got me to wondering about something. In the era when it was unthinkable that a man appear in public with stubble, what in the world did men do who used too much pressure and ended up with severe razor burn?! On the rare occasion that I get razor burn from trying too hard to get that BBS shave, I have to skip the next day to give my face time to heal. But what did men do back in the day when you simply did not go about in public unshaven?
