I found an old book about the art of shaving (or the art of making soap, I don't remember) in Gallica, from late XVIIth, in old french. I'll have to find it back so I can share it with you.
I'm actually better with Latin than French, but that doesn't mean I'm any good at Latin.

Mostly, I know profanities in other languages... But then, in Dutch my name is profane!
