This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ...Johnson said, Sir, of a thousand shavers, two do not shave so much alike as not to be distinguished. I thought this not possible, till he specified so many of the varieties in shaving, --holdingthe razor more or less perpendicular; drawing long or short strokes; beginning at the upper part of the face, or the under; at the right side or the left side. Indeed when one considers what variety of sounds can be uttered by the windpipe, in the compass of a very small aperture, we may be convinced how many degrees of difference there may be in the application of the razor. So they talked of shaving at Dr. Taylor s before the advent of the safetyrazor; and our curiosity can never be satisfied as to just what so acute an observer as Dr. Johnson would have thought of this characteristically modem invention to combine speed and convenience. I can imagine Boswell playfully reminding the doctor how that illustrious friend had quite recently expressed his disapproval of bleeding. Sir, says Samuel, as he actually did on another occasion, courage is a quality necessary for maintaining virtue. And he adds (blowing with high derision), Poh! If a man is to be inlimidated by the possible contemplation of his own blood--let him grow whiskers. At any rate among a thousand shavers to-day, two do not think Somuch alike that one may not be influenced by this consideration and regard Byron, composing his verses while shaving, as a braver poet than if he had performed the operation with a safety. The world of shavers is divided into three classes: the ordinary shaver; the safety shaver; and the extraordinary-safety shaver, who buys each safety razor as soon as it is invented and is never so happy...
