Five-o'clock shadows...

Not withstanding an occasional trimmed mustache and/or beard,
I noticed that almost every soldier was face-washed and clean-shaven.
In all that muck and mire, how did they all manage that ?

The Brit's are a strange, but impressive lot.

A World War is but a minor inconvenience in the great scheme of things.

Certainly no excuse to let standards slip, old chap.

Don't show this to UT or Classicman.

They would demand references to the "The Science of Manliness",
the credentials of the author(s), and to know who really paid for the study.

Dismiss the rabble, I find this truth to be self evident.

‘Only think of the inconvenience attending the common practice! There must be hot water; to have this there must be a fire, and, in some cases, a fire for that purpose alone; to have these, there must be a servant, or you must light a fire yourself. For the want of these, the job is put off until a later hour: this causes a stripping and another dressing bout: or, you go in a slovenly state all that day, and the next day the thing must be done, or cleanliness must be abandoned altogether….How many a piece of important business has failed from a short delay! And how many thousand of such delays daily proceed from this unworthy cause!’

Blade Runner model shop pictures. I had never seen these before. Star Wars gets all the attention, but just as much went into making Blade Runner. This is getting to be ancient history, over 30 years ago. 142 images you've probably never seen before.
