vintage cuts
Has anyone actually gotten one of those really severe cuts, in the almost 'Norman' medieval style, the Germans favored in the Thirties and War years? I saw a photo the other day of 'Gestapo' Mueller, in some meeting and his pate from just behind his ears was totally bald. Not an easy look to pull off. I suppose if the War had been fought with barber shears, the result would have been the same.

Stooge Fright
[quote=MK]Here is a good referrence photo of hairstyles of the period: The Three Stooges
This reminds me why I say "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" so often. But I save a lot of time not fiddling with my inch long hair.

I've just posted on my blog a video clip (4 min) about the trend in Dublin of "cool" guys coming in asking for the 1940s haircut.
Seriously, it's a trend here now! I'm not kidding....  Here's the link: http://diaryofavintagebarberenthusiast.blogspot.com/

Hair on yer chest

And....what did MRS Mueller say when he came home with this? "Did you actually PAY for that?" Even "Hangman" Heydrich can't look at him with a straight face. He's thinking "Jeez, why does he still cut his own hair..Don't I pay him enough?"

Trip, no tip
Quote:
Heinrich Mueller would be one customer it would not pay to nick an ear. We can only guess there was no tip for this cut. What, Mueller said, "Oh, well, I feel like something totally different today. Let's try, uh, medieval Norman!.... You know, the Fuhrer has that notion of conquering Blighty someday-may as well look the part." And so the barber went totally medieval on his ass.... uh, head. And was never heard from again.

It actually looks like Forgotten man is in that video.  Ok, in the far away shot anyway.
