Bronze razors dredged from the Thames and dating back to 1,000 B.C. have looped blades cast in one piece, so that a finger could be used to feel the skin while shaving. It can be a painful enough process, too, even with a modern safety razor. Spare a thought, then, for the African tribe which uses planes of redâ€"hot iron for a close singe; or the one in the Pacific which clips a whisker at a time between two sharp pieces of flint. Two years later, he had changâ€" ed his mind: "This morning 1 began a practice which I find with the ease I do it with that I shall continue . . . that is to trim myself with a razor: which pleases me mightily."

The first attempt at a safety razor came in 1762, when a Paris master cutler produced a modiâ€" fied cutthroat type, with a guard on the blade.
