    It's a collection of book reviews, two of which are those stated. The one on razors runs over two pages. Lovely thing but I'd prefer it if the book itself were up for grabs.

    heh. I can't even get that one on loan so far, and I'd have to drive halfway across the country to sneak some scans in person

    Found it here on Amazon in a reprint for just the treatise on razors by Kingsbury for $14.00 . Says it is 74 pages and I went for it so I'll update when I get it. I have to know the importance of the blue colored razor, not to mention how to hold the razor when using the hone.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    This book is available, free of charge, as it is no longer subject to copyright laws...

    It is actually referenced in the Wiki, and it seems that Oldengaerde has provided a copy of the book available for download from his website

    I assume it would be OK to post the link here, as it is also linked in the Wiki:

    Bibliography on Straights, Shaving and Razor-related History - Straight Razor Place Wiki.
