TCS: Tech Central Station - Razor Wars and the Cutting Edge of Technology: "Of a thousand shavers, two do not shave so much alike as not to be distinguished.
-- Samuel Johnson
Spider webs soaked in oil and vinegar.
Yep.
That's what ancient Roman men used to slap on their faces to staunch the bleeding cuts left by barbers who had shaved them with the iron razors of the day. No less an authority than Pliny the Elder has left us the formula for this interesting aftershave.
Things have improved to say the least. Indeed, modern shaving has reached the point where an aftershave is more a pick-me-up than a palliative.
If there is one area in which technology has delivered a palpable personal payoff for mankind it is in the attainment of a good, comfortable -- and safe -- shave."
