5.0 out of 5 stars Step by step instructions on how to be a man, November 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Stiff Drink & Close Shave The Lost Arts of Manliness (Hardcover)
This is the book that explains clearly what a man was supposed to be, back when being a man meant more than just an identification of gender. A book that Archie Bunker, George Jefferson and Robert Young could all agree on.

1.0 out of 5 stars I Still Don't Know How to Shave., August 15, 2000
This review is from: A Stiff Drink & Close Shave The Lost Arts of Manliness (Hardcover)
This book looks great and has tons of photos- it is an enjoyable collection of eye candy. Do not expect any new info from this one. The text describes what the author might imagine this time was like, instead of alowing the reader to draw their own conclusions.
