| Synopsis A humorous cross-cultural history of the razor and men's treatment of facial hair. Through illustrations, photographs, and cartoons, the author demonstrates outrageous shaving techniques that men have tried to get a closer shave.
Publisher's Note Not every man in the world begins his day by removing the night's production of whiskers from his jaw, but 93 percent of the male population thinks shaving is the first order of business every morning. Since man invented metal shortly after he started walking upright he has sought to scrape stubble from his face without skinning himself alive. In A CLOSER SHAVE, Wallace Pinfold takes the reader on a multicultural, multicentury, and multifaceted tour of the human face as seen from the stainless steel railway of the razor. Through more than 125 photographs and illustrations, cartoons and wood blocks, paintings and advertisements, the story of the shave unfolds, from how to trim a beard, prevent razor bumps, and choose an aftershave to the impact of the safety razor on the modern man and the traditional barbershop, to famous beards and bald guys in history. This witty little book takes a fast, furious, and funny look at the history of getting a closer, smoother, easier shave and proves in the process that the male capacity for preening and self-absorption should never be underestimated.
