    I like the way it is written.

    He recommends one-handed shaving. I wonder which was more common in 1905, one- or two-handed for self-shavers.

    Thanks Charlie!!

    I really like reading the old manuscripts and taking all the good old information and combining it with all the good new information we continue to develop.

    Much appreciated!!

    Thanks that was neat! I will have to sit and peruse more carefully over the weekend I am sure there is some nugget of info that will prove to be a great curiousity or a perspective I havent looked at before that will prove quite useful.

    Thank you for the link. The section about soaps and hardening vs. softening of hair is really interesting and contrary to the common knowledge often presented here.
