Here is reading entertainment at its best! A nifty examination of facial shaving of all types, with clever illustrations and photos, plus some of history's strangest beards, including the fellow with a beard that reached the floor. King Gillette plays a leading role, as might be expected.Includes a "March of Progress from 10,000 BC to the present!..A real treat for all!

Nice to have,

This review is from: A Closer Shave: Man's Daily Search for Perfection (Hardcover)
This book does not offer "tricks to a really close shave". However, it is both a nice present and a nice to have. Why? Did you know about the beard tax imposed by Peter the Great? Guess why J. Palmer was jailed in 1840. Ever seen Kojak shaving his head? Guess why Gilette invested $750 million in development and manufacturing of the first triple-bladed razor. That's why.
