Thread: 200 year old shave!

There's nothing quite like owning and using a useful tool older than telegraphs or iron steamer ships.

When it was new, people still used the long s in print. It would be almost a half century before anesthesia was even occasionally used with surgery. There was no Bessemer process for making steel. Michael Faraday was just the son of a blacksmith and a bookstore clerk, though he was just starting to strike up a friendship with Humphrey Davy. Frankenstein had not yet been written.

In short, it comes from another world entirely.

And you can use it.
