Razor

["Peter Ahlqvist"]

Good day to you all, ladies and gentlemen of the list.

I'm after evidence for straight razors, mainly in pictorial form or in the 
form of surviving examples. I'm trying to reenact northern Europe in the 
period 1350-1400, and I'm aware that most of you are interested in a later 
period, but nevertheless. I have been reading the list for a couple of years 
now, and there is much I have found relevant even for my particular period. 
I wouldn't be surprised if any of you have some knowledge of this. Any form 
of evidence (the earlier the better) anyone can provide, would be of great 
help. I have been searching these past years, and haven't found much.

Furthermore, I'm after information regarding stuff like shaving brushes and 
shaving soap. Were they used, and what did they look like?

Thank you, and have a nice weekend!

Kind regards

Peter Ahlqvist
