Home Barber

I'm afraid I pay insufficient attention to male grooming. I offer this, an advert from an Army & Navy catalogue of 1926 - 27, as a corrective. I myself would have put the quotation marks around the word 'barber', rather than 'home'. Grammatical quibbles aside, this type of comb seems to be still available on Amazon, and probably in all 'quality' stores. Would that I had bought one and put it to the test when my sons were still young and biddable. The great charm of this, of course, lies in the hirsute illustration.. definitely a bad hair day.
