I just recieved a 1931 copy of A.B. Moler's Barbers Manual. Talk about a lot of shaving info. The first lesson is exercises for shaving, stropping, honing and towel handling among other things not having to do with shaving. Lesson 2 is Honing and Stropping. Lesson 3 is Shaving. Looks like a great resource. If you get a chance to pick up a copy, do so. I'm glad I added it to my library.
