Does anyone know of anyone famous from the past who was particularly fascinated in shaving? It is unlikely but interesting. Thanks

He's not exactly an A list celeb but I can tell you Michael Palin only uses Geo. F. Trumper shaving software... Gets his hair cut there too.

To be honest I don't think anyone was "fascinated" by shaving in the past, it was simply a task which had to be done... Usually by someone else though there were some self shaving advocates such as Ben Franklin who was famous in certain circles :giggle:

Human felicity is produced not so much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen, as by little advantages that occur every day. Thus, if you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors; he shaves when most convenient to him, and enjoys daily the pleasure of its being done with a good instrument. -From The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

I tend to agree about shaving being a thing just done. But I love your Franklin quote. Thanks
