PREFACE.

The object of this little book is to furnish clear and full informationabout the art of shaving. There are few men who do not experience more orless difficulty in shaving themselves, and many who, after a fewunsuccessful attempts, give it up in dispair and go to the barber shop. Webelieve most of these would much prefer to shave themselves if only theycould do as well as a barber.

The advantages, indeed, seem to be wholly with the man who shaves himself.In the first place the shaving is done in the privacy of his own room. Hehas his own razor, cup, soap, brush and towels, which can be keptscrupulously clean and sanitary, thus avoiding the[Pg 6] constant danger ofinfection. There is no long wait for the call of “next.” After the firstcost of the outfit there is nothing to pay, either for services or “tips.”Thus in point of time, money and health, the man who shaves himself is adecided gainer.

There are few things in life that are really difficult to perform when onethoroughly knows how to do them. Shaving is no exception. The art ofshaving can be easily acquired if one only has the will, and the necessarypractical information. This book, which, as far as we are aware, is theonly one treating the subject at all completely, endeavors to supply suchinformation; as well for the improvement of men accustomed to shavethemselves, as for the instruction of beginners. We believe that any manwho will carefully read and follow the instructions here given, will, withsome little practice, soon be able to shave himself easily and even betterthan the barber can do it for him.
