    Default Essay on Barber's Razors, Razor Hones, Razor Strops, and Razor Honing (1895)

    Not sure if this has been posted here or not.

    Good bit of literature. You can't download without paying for a membership.

    A quote:

    "When you feel dull and not in a honing mood, wash your face in plenty of cold water to refresh yourself. This will make you feel like honing."

    That's what I've been missing!
