Thread: 1880s-1890s shave?

A little later than 1890's but Faulkner often used barbers and barbershops in his stories. If I remember, the stories gave one the impression that if you shaved daily, most had it done at barbershops. One of the big events of the week was your Saturday shave at the shop.

I have a N&R Dodge SR probably from 1850s, I don't know the date but I bought it due to it's age. Although it's condition is very far from it's pretty days back then, I shave with it regularly and it gives me very smooth and comfortable shave.Back in that time I think, they had similar quality razors, shaving soaps and hot water in barbershops, people who can afford it went to the barbershops regularly which indicates social statue. If person didn't have chance, they had to settle for less, I mean less comfortable and luxurious shave not less smooth or close. We can shave off of 8k natural stones(cotis, thuris etc.) with handmade soaps or even plain water, it is matter of comfort IMHO. This is my N&R Dodge SR

Just watched High Plains Drifter again. lol. The way he strops his razor is something else. It looks so badass I think the razor would be scared not to get sharp. haha. Note the flimsy shaving foam. If they went through with the shave he'd be in for some serious pain.

I never realised, the cast is basically the same as Every Which Way but Loose. Just missing Sondra Locke. Which was a good thing, imho.
