Doc's Thread of rediscoverd Facts!
As a few of you may know I am currently researching info that I hope to one day turn into a book on the history of Boker razors. So I thought I would start a thread and post interesting facts about shaving in our fathers and grandfathers time. I have decided to put it in the shaving forum because it will probably encompass the whole realm of straight razor shaving. I will not swear to the truth of this information except to say that all of this info has been found in source material. I would encourage anyone interested to try out some of it and report back your findings as well as discuss anything you find interesting. I would also encourage you to post things that you find in old text. All I ask is that if you post something you must give facts about where the information can be found as I only want verifiable information here and not hearsay or wives tales. Any information posted without sources will be removed. Hopefully over time we will be able to piece together some of the things our ancesters believed about straight razor shaving.
