    Default Principles of Shaving - 1825

    This one from 1825 from the book "The Art of Preserving the Hair". Interesting in any event but the part I found that was really interesting and pertinent starts on page 241 and is the section entitled "X.-On Beards, Mustachios an Whiskers". Page 247 begins a subsection entitled "Principles of Shaving". I'm sure there's many more interesting chapters.

    As with the others, it's readable online, an you can download for reading later. The link is at:

    The art of preserving the hair, on ... - Google Books

    and should start you right at tpage 250 where you can navigate around.

    You're finding some great stuff! Doc has a thread going on rediscovered straight razor facts and I'm sure he would appreciate your contributions. Here is his thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/shavi...tml#post398717
