Long before the internet, some savvy person was finding ways to get blades to those who needed a shave. Courtesy of Shorpy.com

November 1939. "Street vendor's goods. Waco, Texas." 35mm nitrate negative by Russell Lee for the Farm Security Administration.

How many brands and types of blades does he have?
Anyone want to shave?

Slightly off topic, but this photograph reminds me of it, is the fact the Library of Congress has thousands of government photos on line from this same time period.

This has always been a favorite of mine.
