Bothered by a Beard

I watched - yes, I was a glutton for it last night - I watched a documentary (if that's what you call it????) - maybe some of it should be called a docudrama, and that's a genuine fact - called "Bothered by a Beard" (1945), made in England. Trust me, this had to be made there and no where else. I know it's hard to believe, but I'm serious: Tod Slaughter is in this history of the beard. That's because the second half is devoted to shaving through the ages. Tod plays his Sweeney Todd part here and cuts the throat of one of his patrons. Passes him down to his wife for the pork pies. That's wonderful history of shaving, don't ya think? We eventually get to Gillette inventing the razor. I really didn't know that he couldn't perfect the blade, and he had to have someone else do that for him. After 36 minutes - that's how long this thing lasted - I didn't really care if they all cut their throats. I was ready to cut mine and be glad of it.
