A Melbourne barber, Mr Dennis, attempted last week to establish an Australian record for shaving with i.ne razor (unset) as many men as possible within one lioiir._ "When ho had shaved 2t 'men in 18 t minutes there was not a face in the vicinity of tlm Temperanco Hall (the seeno of his exploit) that could show the slightest vestige of a beard, and then Mr Dennis reluctantly closed his razor. He had established an Australian record for shaving. Ho had also put up a record as a taciturn barber — lv 3 had not spoken for 18 minutes. The longest operation lasted 62 seconds. 1 he world's record in shaving is claimed by an English barber named Weckes, who shdvec 7 70 men in an hour. That record (says a Melbourne correspondent) would probably have been by Mr Dennis had he obtained ivifficient itii.tt rial to work on.
