    You bet. I have the 1950 copy of the Standardized Barber's Manual on my book shelf. Lots of good info, especially on stropping.

    Thank you for posting the link, I'm glad I read it! Interesting footnote on page 23:
    Prediction
    Neither a lather brush nor a mug will be used in the barber shop of 1930.
