shaving and razors

So here's a fun fact from the sex ed book I am reading...

Women did not start shaving until the safety razor was invented in the early 1900s, and the Gillette company began to advertise the supposed sanitary benefits of shaving your armpits. Women began shaving their legs during World War II, when a shortage of silk stockings forced women to go bare-legged more.
