The references to the print are as follows:
A. A small barrel of soap suds;
B. Soap brush;
C. The razor;
D. The Master of the shop who directs the position of his customers faces. Here he is desiring the gentleman with the large nose to keep it more to the left, that is may be out of the way;
E. The Pinion wheel being turned round;
H. The machine is put in motion & brought to “E” and in passing along, the brush, followed by the razor, performs on the right cheek. The faces, the brush, & the razor, being then reversed, a contrary motion of the Wheel does the left cheek. And the faces being again turned to the front, the forebeard is done by the instrument at “I”, which finishes the shaving.

How do you tip a shaving machine?

Man! That's nuckin futs. It does appear that the smoke is being applied to the victims! I wonder if he got any investors?

Another reference to the print said something about the Shotgun being used to powder the gentlemens' wigs at once!

I wanna know who's going to replicate this? Then test it? What show is it that they build the machines Da vinci drew?
