Is this a personally owned book, or something available online to peruse? If so, linky???
oh sorry here's where I viewed it
The barbers' manual (Open Library)
You bet. I have the 1950 copy of the Standardized Barber's Manual on my book shelf. Lots of good info, especially on stropping.
i got a copy for my kindle a few days ago and haven't gotten around to reading it yet but will be stuck in a hotel for the next week so i should have plenty of time,

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.
Thanks for sharing this link.
