    TO MY READERS. Gentlemen, To you I respectfully address myself. In sub¬ mitting this attempt to public notice, I am influ¬ enced by a two-fold motive : to draw the attention of the male public to the peculiar merits of the “ Diamond -Edge, Unpolished Tally Ho! Razor,” (a perfection of modern science,) and to offer some useful and needful knowledge of an im¬ plement, the most delicate in constitution that art can form or necessity demand. This tract does not aspire to the character of anything higher than I the accomplishment of the avowed design. Some of the positions taken will, perhaps, be found novel; yet it is believed that the reasons jgiven with each conclusion arrived at, will on ex¬ amination prove fully satisfactory. Most persons Slave been previously instructed on this subject, and lold to do such-and-such a thing with their Razors; jbut the reason why, neither instructor nor learner has been conscious of; and not knowing clearly he effect of either doing or leaving undone, lose Right of the important consequences—-do wrong, or eave right neglected.
