This is well beyond razor porn. This is kinda like the Venus De Milo.
Shaving with facial hair is like a golfcourse. It's a challenge of rough and fairways. You are the skilled greenskeeper of your face?

Thanked: 62Absolutely awesome! That kind of craftsmanship is still available but it ain't cheap and you gotta be patient.

Thanked: 459I wonder who carved something to make a mould for the casting. Unless it was a one-off for a very wealthy person, there might have been more than one of these casted.
It has always been the extremely well-to-do who have driven the craftsmen to do the very finest work, or in 1897 or earlier, probably any fine work at all.
I have seen current demonstration craftsmen who lament the fact that it takes someone with money to pay them, but then at the same time, they chide the masses for buying inexpensive goods.
