Riassunto

""Beard Shaving And The Common Use Of The Razor: An Unnatural, Irrational, Unmanly, Ungodly And Fatal Fashion Among Christians"" is a book written by William Henry Henslowe in 1847. The book is a critique of the common practice of shaving one's beard, which Henslowe argues is an unnatural, irrational, unmanly, ungodly, and fatal fashion among Christians. Henslowe argues that the beard is a natural and God-given feature of the male body, and that shaving it off goes against the laws of nature and the will of God. He also argues that the act of shaving is irrational, as it is often done for purely aesthetic reasons and does not provide any practical benefits. Furthermore, Henslowe claims that shaving is unmanly, as it goes against the traditional image of the rugged, bearded man. He also argues that the practice is ungodly, as it is a form of vanity and pride that goes against the teachings of Christianity. Finally, Henslowe suggests that shaving can be fatal, as it can lead to infections and diseases. He cites several historical examples of men who died as a result of shaving, and argues that the practice should be avoided at all costs. Overall, ""Beard Shaving And The Common Use Of The Razor"" is a passionate and polemical defense of the beard and a critique of the cultural norms surrounding male grooming. It offers a unique perspective on the history of masculinity and the role of the beard in shaping cultural identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
