    Default 1915 Shaving Image

    To those who are not familiar to Shorpy.com, it is an excellent site of old images collected from the Library of Congress and some more esoteric sources.

    This image is a man in 1915 shaving with a DE razor. Enjoy.

    That's an interesting picture, his "grip" with his index finger bracing the top of the handle or base of the head is neat, that would be a very awkward grip to me though.
