Shave video from 1900
A Quick Shave and Brush-Up (1900) - YouTube
Description:
Like G.A. Smith's earlier Old Man Drinking a Glass of Beer (1898), A Quick Shave and Brush-Up is a vehicle for the Brighton comedian Tom Green, whose various grimaces when shaving and grooming himself constitute the entertainment. It's also a record of a time when cut-throat razors were a standard part of a gentleman's toiletry kit.

Great video and that's one speedy shave, thanks for sharing.

Speedy and he missed a few spots. Not sure what the real purpose of the flick was unless part of a bigger skit but it was kind of cool to watch.
-
interesting video, but i have a feeling he was already cleaned shaved before he started the shave, like 10pups said looks like he missed a few spots.

That was like 30 seconds to shave...
I am gonna try to beat that! :gaah:
-
That was very cool. thanks for sharing
Now I gotta try that ear pulling stretch method!
-
Looks like he's real familiar with that razor!
-
I don't think the razor was sharp. After shaving that fast and "wavy" I would have my lips and cheeks hanging in strips....
-
I would say it was a rather quick shave, but thanks for sharing :)

Sloppy shave, but fun to watch.
Wow, hadn't realized that You Tube was that old! :p
