    Hair cuts

    Thanks for the replies. I do live in a "small town" - a little too small; when I took one previous stylist a photo of Clark Gable, she giggled and asked me why I wanted my hair cut like Andy Griffith's. She had no idea who Clark was - nor any other name I gave her, and a similar scenario...

    Hair cuts

    I'm in central Florida and can't find a decent barber anywhere. Last "barber" I went to said she'd make me look good then just shaved my head. Fed up with it. If any of you guys in the area know a spot, I need the help. Also - gotta question. Watching a lot of TCM lately. Looks like a...

    Parting Men's Hair: Where Should I Part Mine?

    Hi! :) My hair was never "trained" - I can part it anywhere I please and it always does something interesting. Some days I think it's best on the far right, or high left - or any number of places, even down the middle. So - what considerations factor into the final decision? What...

    Leslie Howard's Haircut: I Must Emulate It. Help Please?

    Hey! Actually it's funny you should say that - last time I gave it a try, I took photos of Novarro and Ven Heflin instead, who both have hair quite similar to mine...and they STILL couldn't get it right! :P I found a "barber shop" type place nearby, and I guess there's nothing to lose by...

    What do you use to shave?

    I use a Japanese Feather Artist Series razor, which is something of a compromise between a straight razor and a disposable system; you replace the straight blades instead of honing and sharpening them. I bought it because I had read that one could get an even closer shave with this system...

    Leslie Howard's Haircut: I Must Emulate It. Help Please?

    Hi! Sorry I missed your replies earlier. I'll go through Pygmalion and get some screenshots for the barber - if I can find one anywhere near where I life! My hair is definitely VERY wavy (I can get the 1930's/1940's wavy look without any extra work to "set" my hair) but as for my brow not...

    Pocket Square + Boutonniere

    Whoever told you that - about the pocket square and boutonniere - was either a woman or a silly goosey. Don't listen to them. Like everything else at Men's Wearhouse, the pocket squares are not worth the price. Would you buy rubbish $60 shoes instead of entry-level $150 shoes? If so, then...

    Vintage Haircut: Specific Problems and General Questions.

    Thanks for your reply. I didn't mean for my question to be taken literally; I meant, rather, "how was it done?" Regardless of who did it. My hair is naturally curly/wavy, but putting the particular products that I have tried in it makes it flat. I have tried pomades of various brands with no...

    Vintage Haircut: Specific Problems and General Questions.

    Hello, Thanks again for all the replies to my previous post on this general subject. Sorry that I hadn't taken the time to respond until now. I've been growing my fringe out, and have come to a few problems that I could really use your gracious assistance in tackling. To recap, I was...

    Leslie Howard's Haircut: I Must Emulate It. Help Please?

    Thanks very much for the tip - and for being the sole person to take the time to respond. Sorry to be simple, but I've got a few questions: What portion of the hair constitutes a "fringe?" Are you certain that it was, in the case of Leslie Howard or Charlie Chaplin at least, "slicked...

    Leslie Howard's Haircut: I Must Emulate It. Help Please?

    Hi there! First off all, I think this belongs in some other section than "Beauty" because that section is obviously predominantly perused and posted-to by women, and I'm after a man's haircut. If I'm posting in the "wrong" spot then it's a good sign that you ought to have a section for men...

    Hair cuts

    Has it been long enough that I've spent waiting for some kind of help that, having demonstrated my virtuous patience sufficiently, someone will revisit my basic question and offer some assistance? The picture I posted. I need to find the foundational cut for that sort of style; can't take in...

    Hair cuts

    Hola camaradas, Say, I've a few quick questions, rather simple I hope. First, take a look at this. I've got the waves for it, so I'm going for it. But - I don't know what kind of product to use to get the hold. As you can see, it doesn't look dry, doesn't look stiff, has a nice...

    Men's Hairtyles: I'm Having Difficulty Finding Useable Photos.

    Hi, thanks for reading! Sorry if this section of the forum is supposed to be girls-only -- it wasn't quite clear whether it is, and in any case there seems to be no other section with a description encompassing hairstyles. Anyway, to start off with, something rather specific, and by that...

    Having a Tough Time Finding Super-Casual Neckwear

    Miss Neecerie, That's a very good idea. Thanks very much for it. The only trouble is that I haven't clue of what particular kind of fabric would be best-suited for this sort of neckwear, that I don't know quite how much I'd need to order and finally that I'm unfamiliar with the better...

    Having a Tough Time Finding Super-Casual Neckwear

    Goodness, what a cute little row I've caused. My deportment in the physical world (you know, on the other side of the monitor) is the antipode of "stuffy." I can get away with wearing anything that suits my tastes, which, apart from the ascots, is actually rather conservative. I own many...

    Having a Tough Time Finding Super-Casual Neckwear

    Hello! Thanks for reading! Well - If wedding cravats are high formal, ties and bow-ties are formal, and ascots are casual, then what I'm after would be the sort of super-casual neckwear suitable for wearing with working shirts or polo shirts. Bandanas, neckerchiefs, warm-weather...

    Hello again, thanks for all of your replies! I don't know of any hatters within a reasonable drive. I do have another question though - is there any particular property of a hat (in any style, or in any particular style) that would help it not to muss my hair? A problem I had in my early...

    For my first post, I...

    ...wanted to ask the kind of question that will immediately reduce everyone's respect and expectations of me to nil. That way, nowhere to go but up! So the idiocy is best when served as the first-course, logically. I succeeded, when I asked for a kind of "pictorial encyclopedia" of hats...
