Websites and hyperlinks didn't even exist until 1990, when Tim Berners-Lee took ARPANET's fledgling protocols and translated then into a usable WWW.  It took years after that for industries and individuals to build the foundation - still ongoing - of what we know and loosely call today the "Internet."  It’s extremely unlikely that there would be a link or page developed by anyone in 1999 that exclusively referenced shaving, in any form, although such may have existed. It would just be very difficult to now forensically find, references undoubtedly would no longer exist, at least in a historically recognizable form, and it would have no resemblance to anything that exists today.  It's an interesting - and strange - question to ponder, since even if such a link or site had existed more than two decades past, it would seem to have no practical application to anything today, except as a historical oddity.  By far, the vast majority of reference sources prior to the dates mentioned were in libraries, in the form of books.

Then if you say what you say then why would schick and bic wait until at least about 2006/7 to post the shaving tip of 3 minutes?  In 2000 their websites didnt mention this, i know so because i went to archives.org and such info doesnt appear!  Evolution of the internet?  I saw an article from late 2012 where it mentions shave while in the shower, im almost certain that such tip wouldnt have been available in 2000!  Why would websites wait until this time period to start posting such hints/tips?

You might want to ask Schick that question, since we can only speculate.  Has the absence of that information in some way affected your shaving technique today, or were you merely lamenting the years wasted when you could have been using a gel in the shower all that time?  And is it a valid tip?  Maybe 2 minutes is enough.  Or maybe 4 is better.  If Schick didn't provide that information 20 years ago, should I trust them now?  Maybe they're holding out on me, and I'll only find out 20 years from now.  I'm somewhat confused...

A tutor who tooted the flute,
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor:
"Is it harder to toot or
To tutor two tooters to toot?"
