A Quick Shave and Brush-Up (1900)

[@sooboese3211]

Yeah pretty much like my grandpa and dad did it. a good soap made from ash and oel a soft brush some rosewater and Talkum powder that smelled like a walk through the forest. It was a magical experience in my childhood to watch them shave

[@patkaczmarek7362]

Cannot beat a straight razor shave for comfort and closeness.

[@mhail7874]

That 'feeling fresh' smile after that shave haha

[@stickyreturn]

love to know what he says at 1:26. "any second now the bleeding starts!" maybe.

[@AnaphoraNigh]

Haha! or "Sure wish I had a styptic pencil right now!"

[@feefeee]

That is the fastest SR shave I have ever seen!

[@postscript67]

Try this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnildYp4e5WJlck .

[@shavingdownunder8373]

The way he was smiling it looked like he was on a promise :-)

[@DEROUGET]

He actually looks quite modern BECAUSE he is clean shaven. Most men in that period had facial hair of some sort . . . .

[@mujawooja]

Quick and skilful

[@crazywhitedog78]

I wonder what was in the spray bottle. Perhaps witch hazel. And maybe the powder was styptic powder. That was one quick shave!

[@AnaphoraNigh]

Or lavender oil

[@georgemakuca8870]

Bloody 'ell that was a quick shave!

[@ziggycat999]

Now I understand why the movie industry became a multi-millionaire business!

[@donmaikurosawa1500]

"I see dead people"! "How often"? "Whenever I visit BFI's KZbin Channel".

[@AnaphoraNigh]

Bwahahahaha!

[@bizzjoe]

I guess he had a hot date that night ..

[@MarkelBeverley]

literally. There was no AC

[@johngibson1850]

This is the same chap from “Old Man Drinking a Glass of Beer,” no?

[@The15secondsOfame]

💕

[@Dan_00]

He didn’t shave the left side of his neck.

[@monkfan72]

I don't care if he perfumed and powdered himself, shaving with a straight razor is manly.

[@dariowiter3078]

Indeed it is, Ann. 💈💈💈💈💈😁😁😁😁😁

[@ritvikagnihotri8396]

hahaha

[@kiltedjohn1000]

is there a bluray version?

[@gristlevonraben]

actually, because any film in the past done with chemicals, has an almost atomic level of color density/depth, you can go way past bluray and into super super super super super super super super bluray. Interestingly, many movies that are filmed at 450 and 1080p and 4k will only be able to be sharp at those resolutions for all of eternity. In otherwords, Star Trek Next Generation, filmed at less than 1080p, I believe at 640p, will never be as sharp as a transfer of this very video you are watching right now. Isn't that super ironic?

[@ZorroZorroZorro]

Да, умел люди...

[@deanbr6ndo70]

And all that new gillete b......ks.

[@Kranekick1985]

Powdered himself with asbesto.😲😞

[@Th3BlackLotus]

Boring...

[@dariowiter3078]
