Thanked: 10Old-Fashioned Shaving Stick?
Does anybody still make shaving sticks? A Google search didn't turn any up--mostly found styptic pencils and something called a pre-shave stick for electric razors.
Before WWII, shaving sticks seem to have been preferred by barbers over cake soap, possibly for sanitary and economic reasons (less wash-up, less waste).
I have an old shaving kit that came with two stick-holders, but no sticks. I haven't been able to find any info on how the sticks were used, either.
Any help?
