Exploring the Science of shaving (circa 1957)
I found this article on the science of shaving published in the 1957 issue of the "Science and Mechanics" magazine...Enjoy.
PS: The web article can be found here (For higher resolution reading (since I couldn't figure out how to upload the bigger images for reading)
One fact that stuck out for me in particular is that we tend to lose as much skin as we do hair in shaving (~1/2 mls worth of each)...Page 2Last edited by BladeRunner001; 11-01-2010 at 05:08 AM.

Exploring the Science of Shaving...I did have a link to that article as well...I wasn't able to figure out how to upload a bigger image. Seems like no matter what I did with size/resolution of image when saving, the image size came up small

Hahaha!! That article is amazing! I love the bit at the start about straight razors (down the bottom)...
A) "Uncle Louie's straight razor is still the barber's favourite for close-shaving customers. Try using one of these in the bathroom on a Pullman* car for an extra thrill!"
*The 'Pullman' car refers to the railroad carriages manufactured by the Pullman Company in the early 20th century...
A Pullman railway sleeper carriage. Note the bathroom facilities at either end of the carriage! Try straight shaving in there going at 80mph!

On page four third line above the title, 'Grinding off whiskers', I think they mean to say '1.1mm and 1.2mm' not '11mm and 12mm'. 11 and 12mm a day for stubble growth seems just a little too much like Werewolf behaviour to me...
The comment about pullman cars made me think there are definate reasons for a safety razor afterall.
