skazka posting in

I've written a bit of meta for Season One of AMC's The Terror that might be helpful for other fandoms dealing with men in Early Victorian England -- namely hygiene, haircare, shaving, and lube on post-Age of Sail polar expeditions. (Post contains general spoilers for canon, but not anything you might not expect from the broad strokes history of the final Franklin expedition.)

'1840s Skincare, "Cold Men On Boats" Edition' here @ DW and over here at AO3. If you have any other reading/links/resources relevant to 1840s Royal Navy washing-up, please hit me up in the comments there!
