    Default Barbers neck duster

    Had a request from a guy at work to make a Barbers neck duster. He wanted one made To give to his Barber. Here's what I came up with, it's a little weak on the amount of hair, but this is the first time I attempted something like this. I think it turned out all right, for not really having anything to go on but pictures.
    4" long, white horse hair all glued in by hand (pita). It's a little scratchy, but I was thinking about dipping the tips in hydrogen peroxide (someone on here said it would soften the tips? so I guess I'll find out if that's true....

    You done good!! A duster usually didn't touch skin but got talc off the collar.

    I remember when barbers used them all the time. Richard is right, they applied talc with their hands and used the duster to remove the excess from your collar and your clothes too.
