Preface:
The object of this little book is to furnish clear and full information about the art of shaving. There are few men who do not experience more or less difficulty in shaving themselves, and many who, after a few unsuccessful attempts, give it up in despair and go to the barber shop. We believe most of these would much prefer to shave themselves if only they could do as well as a barber.

Increasingly men are recognizing that the best shaves are provided by real sharp razors not by
electric lawnmowers on our faces.

Additionally, many of us are tired of shelling out $100-$300 periodically for an electric shaver and then
spending money for replacement heads and cutters and in the end finding that the silly thing just died again,
forcing us back to the store to again purchase another expensive shaver - a revolving door or expensive purchases
just to keep our faces smooth.

What an expensive pain!

IF we use the disposable "safety razors" whether the one blade or the deluxe 5 blade with vibrating happiness -
or whatever trade name they have now cooked up for it - we find ourselves spending again huge bucks just for a
way to cut or scrape our faces clean!

Finally it dawns on us that our grandparents and the hundreds of years of human history of folks shaving with open
blades to get smooth shaves might just have had some wisdom.

One blade, decades of use out of it, wow, how sensible!

That is also gives a cleaner and closer and smoother shave - even better.

AH- but there is a problem, none of us know how to use a "straight razor" anymore!

Well, here is the solution, a simple, down to earth , how to - book that tells us HOW TO do it.

Not quite as good as having your grandfather here to guide your hands as you practice - but close!

Read the book, get a straight razor - and stop feeding the shaver companies - get a nicer shave,
and keep that money in your pocket that you would have wasted in new shavers or blades.

Oh, and by the way, the straight razor does not need batteries, electric power, replacement heads, or such.

I don't recommend shaving with a straight razor on bumpy roads
