Not only do I remember all of that, I still go to a barbershop where you can still get butch wax and palm combs.
The last real barber I had retired probably ten years ago, maybe fifteen. Nothing around here anymore except the strip mall hair cut places. They don’t have butch wax, but shelves of goop and spray to sell you.
Now, well, I don’t have much hair left, so my wife does it for me, takes her all of about 2 minutes with the clippers. I feel that I should get an 80% discount if I go to the haircut joint, seeing I’ve lost 80% of my hair! It just ain’t fair I tell ya.
I remember when our kids were young, she bought a contraption to go on the vacuum to cut their hair. I think that lasted for about one hair cut for each of them.
