In this humorous depiction, an English School artist portrays a shaving mill capable of effortlessly shaving sixty customers in just one minute. The image is filled with elements of wit and ingenuity, as men are seen standing on a treadmill-like contraption while horses tirelessly power the mechanism. The scene exudes mass consumerism and production line efficiency, capturing the spirit of innovation during the Georgian era. The blades on this extraordinary machine work their magic swiftly, leaving no room for error or missed stubble. It is truly an ingenious creation that combines both practicality and amusement.

It highlights our constant pursuit to simplify tasks through machinery and automation.
