I don't think Anton Walbrook ever looked bad. His moustache was always great too. Nothing ostentatious, and decidedly handsome. His haircut is basically what I've got, achieved with Dax (blue tin, can't remember the name). Just a small amount on my palm works just fine). I have a slight wave when it gets longer, which is good.
Good timing- Speaking of Anton Walbrook, can anyone break this haircut down for me? It's a bit different from the standard short back and sides, and will require that I grow my hair for a while. As far as I can tell, It seems to be: long on top, long on the sides, maybe with a slight taper? combed back trimmed sideburns a sharp taper at the back which begins in line with the ends of the long top, and ends at a zero in line with the earlobes? (btw holy grail jacket worn by Marius Goring, it is a belt-back too)
My "usual" haircut since I decided to go to a real barber shop: Kinda like it when it's growing longer, too:
Yep, long on top, slightly shorter on the sides which are layered & graduated towards the back & a razor cut on the nape. Then back combed & blow dried with a dab of goob.
Same barber shop here in Belgium (Cap Jo), new hair style. This is exactly what I asked them, pretty happy about it!
This is the most recent haircut I received. I got it a few weeks ago and has since grown in very nicely.
Where in Ct. are you? Lundy's in Montville is a fantastic barber. He can give you exactly what you want. I'll take some pics of how he cuts mine and post.
I was just going through this thread for the first time in a while. So sad to see so many great pictures have been lost over the years, replaced by those annoying placeholders.
