sharpening and honing processes,
and broken up into individual
blades only when they are packed.
The sharpening is uneven, which
accounts for the rough blades that
cut the face so badly. For this rea-
son a safety razor blade always
should be honed, or strorped at
least, before using.
Safety Razor Best
The form of the usual safety ra-
zor makes it necessary for the
blade to fieX in it's holder, and this
requires a soft steel that cannot be
sharpened and does not hold it's
edge as well as harder metal. Still.
it seems to me that the safety ra-
zor blade is a great advantage over
the old-fashioned hollow-ground ra-
zor. for it took too much artistry
to keep the latter in shape.
Of the soaps and creams, the
form is mportant-most of them
are about the same. Their function
is ito soften the hairs so that they
can be cut more easily. to soften
the skin so that it will give before
the razor, to provide matriX to
support the hairs so that the razor
can cut them at an angle, and to
lubricate the razor so that it will
glide more easily over the skim"
These functions are only partially
performed by the soap and cream,
because it is the water used to form
the lather that acco,nrlishes the
actual softening action. Hairs are
coated with a natural protection of
oil, and soap must be used to re-
move this coat and permit the wa
ter to get to the hair. Lather
holds the water on the hair so 1t
will not flow away.
Brushes creams are not soaps
but vanishing creams with a large
proportion of water. Most Of them
release practically no alkali in the
presence of moisture, and people
with dry or tender skins may
therefore, find them less irritating
Cooling soaps and creams are
made with menthol, which not only
cools but acts as local anesthetic
The after-shaving lotion should
contain about SO per cent alcohol
A lower amount reduces its anti
septic value and higher amount
is irritating. Other ingredients are
added for their cooling or soothing
effect.
