Shaving cream, not even once

Ah! La Barbe (1906)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this film is also known as “Ah! Beard” and “A Funny Shave”. While preparing to shave a man consumes some shaving cream which gives him strange hallucinations in the mirror.

Running just under 2 minutes in length there is not a huge amount to this film but it is decent for what it is. The special effects are not bad and the faces that appear in the mirror are suitably odd. There is nothing beyond the face value of this short but it provides a fun little distraction.


3/5
