What would he have likely used
I know what my pop used, I saw it. I know what my grand father used, I saw it. Now I am attempting to go further back, to a man who lived most of his life in New York City and probably took up shaving around 1890s and had approximatly fifteen kids, so he did not have the time and dollars for new fangled hardware. He would have gone with the traditional hardware. Any idea what a man of this profile would have used? He would have most likely used the dominant brand of razor at the time. Did Dovo dominate the market around the 1890s through 1920s? Gillette was a new upstart at the time. Who dominated the market in that era?
