Quote 66 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

And I did also in a sudden fit cut off all my beard
[moustache], which I have been a great while bringin up, only
that I may with my pumice-stone do my whole face, as I now do
my chin, and so save time---which I find a very easy way and
gentile.
