I think you need to have a shave demonstration. Either shave yourself or someone that trusts you. Let people see how easy it is to shave the classic way and feel a properly shaved face.

You might have a one page hand out with references, terminology, a brief history of your journey, etc.
If this demo is about they way it was done 100 years ago, bring barber hones, coticules, eschers and other natural stones that are period correct
And you need to offer to Bleed people, to get out the bad humors...
My Grandfather was still bleeding people from the "Old Country" in the back room of his Barber shop until my Aunt went to Nursing School, and explained to him that he could not properly sterilize the spring loaded slicer gizmo (boy would I like to get my hands on that). He stopped immediately -
Leeches, you could use leeches in your demo...
And Dentistry...that was another skill set of old time Barbers..
Some parts of the "good ole days" where probably not that great...
Have you ever tried the "shaving the lather off of a balloon" trick?
One of my Barbers told me that was how shaving was taught in Barber College...
You could give them a lathered balloon and a shavette - charge extra for the Poncho...
Yes, and explain how the Barber's pole began with only a red stripe to symbolize the blood running around and down the dangling arm! :eek:
