Lummus articles from 1922 & 1927

bothlummus.pdf

hopefully the above link works. The PDF contains two articles by the same author, one in 1922 and one in 1927. Unfortunately, the black and white scanned pictures are of poor quality, but, there clearly was some RAD going on back in 1922...and the highly opinionated writing style is a pleasure to read..

I especially like the parts where he badmouths safety razors, full hollow grinds...and says that all Frederick Reynolds razors are junk. Ha!

A great quote from the article that sums up what most people in this forum feel:


"The true collector shaves with every razor in his collection"

Thank you Brad, the link works fine. Haven't read the article yet, but looking forward to it.
