That's pretty awesome! Thanks for posting this. Good to know the scientific community has our back!
I always like seeing conventional wisdom in different venues.
You can read and then read some more. The X-ray shave is by far the scariest.Quote:

Science? There's nothing there having anything to do with science except for the title.
It's an interesting historical read though. Thanks.
Really enjoyed that. Thanks
Uncle Louie (A), has quite the moustache. My wife would divorce me if I had that on my face!
Really? No science? Hair and the need to have the keratin soak up water, the need to first wash the oils away... The amount of water a hair will absorb? No science?
It most certainly wasn't a religious article... "...and Moses went up to the mountain with a rough beard, and God spoke to him saying, 'Moses! Your hair needs to be wetted; first with hot water and soap, then with hot water, then sacrifice a lamb unto me, then stand on one foot and begin to shave.'"
Scott64a, it was very unkosher to shave back then for da Joos...
I'm just glad that 5-7 minutes of soak time, after rinsing off the skin oils, is enough for me to make good use of a shaver, even in 50 degree weather...
When I have the ability to use a soap I like to make the pre-shave lather extra wet, the increased water content facilitates the softening, then reload the brush with more soap and develop the lather into a real shaving lather.
So, where did that come from. It's just a claim they make not backed by facts, whether it's true or not.
Yes my new carbo magnetic blade is scientifically designed and it's properties of magnetism ensure a shave to the ultimate degree.
Back then what was passed off as science, well....

Now, that's just crazy talk. (Hopefully it won't happen for another 1000 years.):borg:
