Razor history.

[BigIan]

in college we have to wright a 3000 word essay on any topic we choose.
As i`ve been spending alot of time researching straight razors, i have cosen to wright an essay about shaving. and why the old fashoned ways are much better than modern teqniques.

while i can find the information, i`m struggleing with refrences, does any one know of any good books?

and also where i can find information behind the science of straight shaving. such as metal composition, blade triganometry for both modern cartridge razors and for straigts new and old.
