You bet. I have the 1950 copy of the Standardized Barber's Manual on my book shelf. Lots of good info, especially on stropping.

Prediction
Neither a lather brush nor a mug will be used in the barber shop of 1930.

Ha, ha, ha! Spread the canned gooo around with your hands, slap onto a dry face, shave with a $15 blade, and then wonder why your face is red & stings! Modern shaving!
