    Did Great Grandpa have a moustache (golden era pics in thread)

    A question guys. As far as I know, only three photos of my great grandfather (1883-1956) still exist. There were more probably, but they were either lost or thrown away....There might be more in other family member's collections but my family isn't one to share such things. As such, I have a...

    Hair cuts

    I have to wonder too: What methods did say a barber in the 40s or 50s or even early 60s use? Was it generally scissor over comb? Or did they use electronic buzzers even then?

    Help me date this photo?

    My aunt--the Nun in those photos--was born in 1949. She graduated from High School in 1967. Now I don't know much about being a Nun; is it possible she'd be wearing something akin to a habit and be up there while still in high school? I don't know if she was living up there at that convent at...

    1965 can be ruled out--compare my mom's face with the June '65 home movie photos. In 1965 my mom would've only been 11 anyway.

    How old did you have to be to be a Nun back then? That would solve what year it was.

    Help me date this photo?

    This photo is a screenshot from a home movie which was taken sometime between 1966 and 1968. My mother is somewhere between 12 and 14 years old here. She's the one on the left with the short hair. Based on her hairstyle and what she is wearing, when do you think it was between '66 and '68?

    Hair cuts

    A question: What are the major differences between the Short Back & Sides cut, the Pompadour, and the Duck's Ass haircuts? What are the main differences between the three? As I've said before, my ideal is to maintain a haircut like this:

    A few questions about Brylcreem: 1) Can it cause hairloss? 2) Am I applying it properly? I usually apply it after I shower, during which I use V05 shampoo and conditioner. While wet, I apply the Brylcreem with fingers nd slick the hair back with my comb. 3) A non-Brylcreem question, but is...

    For someone with a naturally rounded jawline that's gotten a bit wider and chubby, would a bigger or smaller brim be better?

    Your hair gel/cream/hair oil of choice? For the gents here: What hair oil, gel or cream do you use to style your hair? I use most often Brylcreem, or American Crew, and on occasion my fiancee will run through some more modern styling gels, but I prefer the older stuff. Also, how good is...

    Hair would one maintain a classic short back and sides haircut, like this?: Note the hair on top is long, very long, if combed forward would be at least at their eyes. How often should one get the hair on top trimmed to maintain this style?
