Free Book PDF from 1905: "Shaving Made Easy"

Wasn't quite sure where to put this so I suppose in with the newbies but I bet anyone will find this interesting.

Often times it seems that some books just are left without a publisher and their copyright runs up. What happens then? Well, they are argued to become "open media." Recently whilst snooping for old time classics, I bumped into this relic ready for download from the Internet Archives. It appears to be the Library of Congress's scan of a 1905 book called Shaving Made Easy: What The Man Who Shaves Ought To Know.

I haven't read too much of it but its roughly 80 pages and appears to be a quick but thoughtful read- and from the early 20th century, it sure has some of that old school class to it. Of course, the 20th century (and so far, the 21st) have had some pretty important shaving developments but if you want to take a stroll back in time, this appears to be a good way to do it.

PDF Link. ~2.5Megs.

Anyhows, enjoy!
