THE LUXURY OF EASY SHAVING

Front the Liverpool Mail of May 10th, 1845

Lord Byron is said to have remarked that the pain or tedium
shaving. taken in the aggregate, is equivalent to the most
. .

excruciating agonies sufferea by the American aborigines du-
ring their religious and secret sacrifices. His lordship's opi-
nion, I suppose, obtained its foundation from a morbid excite-
ment of the nervous system, while undergoing the salutary
operation at the hands of an inexperienced and clumsy practi-
tioner; but Lord Byron did not reside in Liverpool, andmore
over he was never in

HAIR-CUTTING AND SHAVIN TABLISHMENT,
26, REDCROSS- EET.
MR. EDITOI2,—In the presen y, when we hear so much of
all kinds of philanthropy, I conceive it in the last degree
important to speak to t whose jaws are lacerated beneath
the hands of some bg rs, most truly barbarous, to point to
the above shop. It is, in truth, the most commodious and
comfortable I ever entered, although I have travelled through
forty English counties. I went there a short time since, and
for the first time in my life ascertained the difference between
shaving and scraping. Previous to the operation, I noticed
the unique appearance of the establishment—the marble fount,
and the truly chaste inscription, " Drink, if thirsty," remind-
_

ing one of the hint of the old Grecian, "- Armon men unor,--
the convenient and handsome mirror—the well-assorted col-
lection of varieties—the motto of the establishment, in letters
of gold,
NO BUSINESS DONE ON THE SABBATH,"
and the shaving—but I have already intimated that it was ex.
quisite. " Like a wash, Sir? " said my worthy manipulator,
and I washed. " A little oil, Sir ?" said another voice, and my
head with oil was anointed. Well, I thought, this is luxury
indeed ! I was indulging in lucubrations greatly to the credit
of Mr. Carter, when I found yet another hand engaged in
brushing my hat and coat; and when I asked how much to
pay, " Three-halfpence !" I was amazed, but determined to
patronise no other shop ; for I hold, Sir. that the man who
smooths our way through life, and provides us with the little
courtesies of society which make life agreeable, is a public
benefactor, and well deserves the esteem of his fellows.
