ABOUT RAZORS.
It is, we supwose, ralher below tlje dignity of
history to wiite upon razors, real razors, sharp
things of fat steel, wltn which people who aspire
to smooth chins daily cut oil their boards and
exasperate their tempers. It was a freat writer.
howerer; who said that ho questioned whether
tho habit of sbavinff in one sex we fear he said
the necessity of shaving, but then he lived before
the beard movement was not a fair compensa
tion for the pains ot child-bearing in the other.
Each is in some degree the resuU of civilization,
for while savage women bear their chlldron and
go to work the next day without any perceptible
ill consequences, savage men either exempt
themselves from shaving altogether, or adopt
means more summary and of less frequent re
currence than the dally operation with steel. One
raco uses fire, another pumice stone, another
lime, and a fourth the hard inner cuticle of the
oyster shell, a device which seems ingeniously
adapted to combine the largest amouut of ugli
ness who the greatest quantity ot sulTerlug.
I'be civilized world, however, and the se;ni-
ivillzen, so tar as it shaves, which is extea
lively me iuu?.-uiman world alone attaching
real snnrtity to the beard has adopted ihe
razor, and it is worth the while of thiee-tourths
ot those who will read these lines to consider
what really is the best shape and make of an
instrument so incessantly in use. Upon that
point we have a little Information to elve them
which seems to us obviously sound, and which
is derived trotn an essay by a cutler, or. as he
proudly styles himhPlt, h .''razor maker," one
Benjamin Kingsbury, of Bond t-treet. In an
J very sensible pampulet, he gives tho lav barbeis

which we should have tboueht it a cutler's
interest to keep very strictly to himself.
Of course his advice is of no use la pro
fessionals', even if they would take it.
They learn to know a good deal by practice.
tney are masters or toe mystical, ana to most
men uniitMnaole, art called "stropping," and
thev can make up lor any temporary
defeat by skill in manipulation. It is not triven
to lav shavers to make those long sweeping
strokes, acy.niore than to untrained oarsmen,
nor aid any layman mat ever we met acquire
that ineffable, and, as it were, spiritual mystery,
tne art 01 civins tne last line cage to tue weapon
by a stroke or two on the palm. Besides, the
barbers have an advttntaze none of their sub
jects, or patients, or clients, or constituents, or
whatever they call them, can ever hope to rival.
They cannot shave b? the aid of a leverage on
their own noses. Teaching barber is waste of
time, but to ihe outside world the wretched
majority who have neither time nor patience
nor nerve to be artistically shaven there is oue
little secret about the operation worth knowing-,
and that is this: The only test for a razor is a
microscope. . As a rule, almost all Enslisti
razors are intended to be good, the cheap
specimens . as well as the dear, and,
indeed, the cheap specimens are good ju-t
as often as the dear. The present writer was
fool enoufih once, when prouiier of having
a beard than he is sow, to eive a g iinea tor a
pair ot razors supposed to be' by the best maker
in England, and declared next day his belief
that they would not cut butter. That was
an unjustifiable exaggeration, tor properly
managed they would have cat it; but they
were very bad. many degrees worse than the
worst of the shilling and two shilling razors to
IJwhich in expiation he thereafter confined him
Iself. The reason is explained very clearly by
I Mr. Kingsbury, rather more clearly, perhaps,
I than he exactly intended. A razor is nothing
I more nor less than a saw, with very minute and
J.LI . . a , . . . . A iLI
ium teeiu, wmcu uufs uui cut uutuiug cms
but saws oh the hair of the beatd. If those
teeth are straight and continuous and even, the
razor is a good one; and if not, not; and there is
no other possible test lor razors. When you ouv
one at any price over a shilling it is hard to
criticize at that price look steadily along its
eage.tnrougn a strong magnuyer ui.cu you nua
one whose' teeth are even as those ct a saw.
That nine times out of ten will be a good razor,
while one with uneven or broken toeth never
can, . by any chance, be good. "The edge of a
razor, a penknile. ana every otner very Keen
instrument, consists of a very great number of
minnte points, commonly called teeth, whicn, if
the instrument is in it sen good, ana in goon
condition, follow each other through its whole
extent with great order and closeness, and con
stitute, by their unbroken regularity, its exces
sive keenness. The edge ot suca an instru
ment aots on the beard, the skin or anything
else, not so much by the direct application of
weight or force as by being drawn, even slightly,
along it; because, by this operation, the fine
teeth of which it consists pass in quick suc
cession, in the same direction, and over the
same part of the substance My readers will be
convinced Ot this if they will make the follow
ing experiment on their glove or their hand, as
they like best. Let them hold the razor either
perpendicularly or obliquely, and press on it
with some considerable lorce in a direct line
from right to left, and they will have no great
reason to tear the conseauences. But let them
move it from that direction, let them draw it
towards them, or push it from them. In the
smallest decree, in the orentlest manner, and
it wilUnstantty make an Incision. When they
hum ma.lo thia p vnprimeriL thev will be Con
vinced of the truth of what I have asserted,
mamelv, that in the eperation of shaving,
very little, weight and even yery little force
are necesaarv. There is, of course, always
a possibility that the razor may be made
of steel so over tempered that it is brittle,
nr mi under tempered that it Is soft, but as a
role cutlers, though they cannot and do not
ell umiortu eos.es. do try to sell a uniform
auality .of steel. Hardness is essential, but
ley are responsible for this, and it is only
necessary to remember that heat softens steel,
ami that nonseauentlv the trictt of steeping
Tutors in hot water "makes them much less
eftectlve than they were at first. WetRht is of
no importance, except to tne caprice or the
hnver. Thn lightest are probably now tho best.
because very dear razors are usually light, and
more care will be used in selecting the blades,
but the weight in itself is a matter ot no moment
whutnver. Neither is shaoe. Nine-tenths of
the razor blades mado in England are now of
the knme form a thin kuiie ot steel, tnicken
lnir tnwurrU the back and broader at point
than shoulder but they are not better and
not worse than the blade ot even thickness set
' in a thick back which came into favor about
fifteen years ago, or the blade of equal breadth
throughout, still sometimes sold. Ot course
iho edse ouL'ht to be straight, or they cannot be
stropped properly, and English cutlers assume
universally tnat tney ougnt to do nung loo-eiy
in a sort of cane handle. We have lived among
people who use their rasors set straight like
knives, sr.d the true model would seem to be
one which fastened the razor at the angle pre
ferred by him who wields it a razor with a
spring out It is ot no use fighting a trade, and
the main point is the edge. Nothing but
the magnifier will test this, and all oaths about
steel, and water, and makers, are lust so many
words. If the teeth are not regular they will
not saw a batd smoothly, any more than a lag
ged saw will cot easily through a plank.
These minute little teeth break, of couroe.
very easily, particularly with men who have
tiff beards beards "with iron in them," the
beards of the obstinate or combative and the
next lesson to learn is how to restore the
teeth. Mr. Kingsbury whose pamphlet is marked
"Twelfth edition," and whose experience, we
suspect, tallies with that ot most men, who
have ever been condemned to shave In cutler
Jess lands. Is all ior the hone the lom bit ol
smooth poroua stone which every cutler uses,
and most cutlers will, if you let them, decry,
nron a little oil on that, the olive oil of the
Lt.nH fund, savs Mr. Kingsbury. "Let hlra

it. When ih'.B bus beu done on one side,
'he tazor should be turned, and the same
eperation take place on the other side ol
it. In this manner be may proceed till the
bone bus produced the desired eflect." Nobody
does that. We write with the experience of
crowded cabins in many voyages, and we say
deliberately that the majority ol lay shavers
strop the razor on the bone the reverse way,
lifting the back till the edge is turned. Tney
have not the patience lor tho scientific process,
otid trut-t to the strop to make all smooth.
This operation continued, as Mr. Kingsbury
savs, till the edge of the razor looks "like
wiie," or, as we should say, till the operator's
thumb ictuses to be toitiired any lonp.er; it
Ehould recommence on the strop, but in the
reverse way, namely, from the point to the
shoulder, the "teeth of the razor thus receiv

hone every two days, and the plain strop every

decent steel and the operator will ue his mag

our pamphleteer, of the elleiuinute shaver or
keep a razor with slippery handles, nothing can
keep the lazor's edge irom going a trifle too

suasion, n dit-tinct reminder that Providence has
placed us under Jaws a great deal more rigid
than any legisiatois will ever make laws winch
compel tire to burn, wnfor to drown, and shaky
rszors to cut, whether the victim be a man of

cut, laces over which no razor can safely,
any more than a cab-horse can go over tue

such as Mr. Kingsbury has described, and e, as
we have said, In a decently firm hand, ah ivmg

a the infinitely wiser custom ol leaving it alone.
Mr. Ivlnst-bury enters into some elaborate
and slightly coniic considerations as to the best
soap lor shnvins and the best method of using
the razor, but the results of experience may in
both cases be hotnewhat more briefly stated.
Cocoanut oil is better than anv luther that ever
was or will be made, if only Europeans would
consent to use it As they will not, the best
soap Is any soap made from oil, quite free from
grit, from the caustic of which Naples soap is
lull, and lrom ashes of any kind. Shaviug
ponders arc all bad, the scent intbein not being
oily at all, and so are most 01 the tak a matters
sold as substitutes for soap. The best soap we
have ever met with has a stamp "United Service
Soap" on it, but we have not an idea of its com
position, and Mr. Kingsbury gives in his
fiamphiet a preference to olive soap, which, if
t is made of olive oil, seems reasonable, but
which we imagine he sells. As to the use of
the razor, on which he IB great, three little
sentences contain, we imaaine, the ultimate
sum of human wisdom, "Don't scrape, don't
cut yourself, and don't, if jou have children,
leave vour razors auout." spectator.
