Barbering.



First and foremost, it's important to acknowledge that you shave incorrectly. There's no shame in that: you and I didn't have the benefit of 1905's Shaving Made Easy: What a Man Who Shaves Ought To Know to guide us into this manly art. But it's never too late. So grab your razor and let's get to work.


Before you hold the  sharpest blade in your house to your own neck, make sure you have the proper grip on it. Then, just follow these simple steps:


Good. Now that your face isn't such a catastrophe, it's time to head off to the barber and pick a new haircut!


Ah yes, the old Curly Shingle, hairstyle number 16. It really doesn't look like they did it on purpose, does it. But if looking like a deep sea sponge isn't to your liking, the barber of 1900 has plenty of other options available in The Barber Instructor & Toilet Manual

There's the American



The Scotch


 The French

And if that's not French enough for you, the La'Di'Da.

The comb-over may not yet have been invented, but worry not balding men: the Victorian Era has got you covered with the "Haircut To Cover Bald Head". Catchy name AND a sharp look.

 And, of course, there's my favorite:

Once you've made your choice, don't forget the accessories. A lip without a mustache is like a front door without a welcome mat. 

I'll take a #3 and a #7, please. 


Lobsterman Approved!
