Here is a happy picture that may put a smile on your face.
Can you remember your mum cutting your hair and yes a basin was sometimes used too.

:NoNo: ... mine never attempted to cut the hair of either my brother or I. Instead, like most of our contemporaries from the post-war generation - the so~called "baby boomers" - we were sent to one or other of the local barbershops to be be given a proper scalping :yikes:, akin to that meted out to Army personnel. Yep, a real short, back and sides which looked as though it had been done using a bowl (or basin) as you've described. :omg:, I really hated that style! Yet, I've noticed that, for some strange reason, it's become fashionable again.

And to sit on the plank that went across the barbers seat too, and older blokes came to the window for that packet of something for the weekend sir :Erm:

Yes, I remember that too. :biggrin:

Anyway, I wait for my Phils visits for my haircuts now.... 50 pesos only sir ! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

(I should think so too, considering how little hair is involved these days :cwm3: )

It was a packet of Ona rubberwear if I remember rightly:Erm:

It was some sort of chewing gum. I threw mine away. Yuk.
