Lather and Shaving.

"It always makes me tired,” said an old barber, "when a man tells me to quit wasting so mncb time robbing in the lather and hurry along with his shave. If he only knew It, he is laying a sure foundation for a chapped and sore face. The reason for using soap In shaving is to remove the grease always close to the skin and on the surface of the beard. This cannot be done without rubbing It well in. Many persons who shave themselves do not understand this and wonder why they have sore faces. They blame the bay ram and change off to witch hasel or something else. Rubbing the soap In well makes the beard soft and pliable. It also lessens the chances of the rasor slipping. Always rub the lather wall 1» with tbs fingers, never with the brush.*
