Hair troubles
Actually, for years, I've been trying to nail down some sort of forties look. After a lot of research, two key elements stuck out--short back and sides, tapered, and short or no sideburns. That's what I've been attempting all this time. Unfortunately, I don't think I do a very good job at...- Oscar Tong

Hair troubles
In a moment, the results of that trial. Well, it's done. My barber-friend has cut my hair. I told her to cut the back and sides short and taper the back like I always did, but this time, I added that she should begin the taper one inch above my ears, blend in the sides and back with the top as...- Oscar Tong

Hair troubles
I'm at my barber-friend's place of employment right now! Thanks a lot for all the tips, information, and input, everybody! :) Let's hope for the best (and that my top will grow quickly)! ========== To Blackgrass: Sadly, there are no Walgreenses in the Greater Vancouver area, and the only...- Oscar Tong

Hair troubles
What about a Jack Webb hairdo? I was just thinking--should I go for the sort of hairdo that Jack Webb of Dragnet fame had going in his heyday? Here are some pictures to show you what I'm talking about. Technically, these pictures are probably from the early fifties, so...- Oscar Tong

Hair troubles
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by that, Blackgrass. Would you please elaborate? I've been up and down the hair-product aisle of a Wal-Mart Canada (the one in New Westminster, BC, if it means anything), and I've zipped and zoomed through the rest of the store, but I couldn't for...- Oscar Tong

Hair troubles
Thanks for the advice so far! It sure is helpful of you all. :) I'm surprised you think my hair is alright as it is. That's good to know, because often, I don't know it, myself. Now, for some individualized responses. ========== To scotrace: Thanks for the warm welcome back. :) Now, there's...- Oscar Tong

Hair troubles
How do you do! I hate to skip the exchange of plesantries, but I desperately need help regarding my hair. You see, I've never been happy with my hair. Even after I realized I preferred the the fashions of the thirties and forties, I still couldn't get it right. I've done hours of research, most...- Oscar Tong

This is pathetic
I've never before seen the kind of hat that Big Man's great uncle is wearing in the above picture. Does it have a name, or is it simply a variation of another kind of hat?- Oscar Tong

This is pathetic
Eww! What an awful-looking hat! For one thing, the band on the outside is too wide. I object to the "gangster" label that people, mainly my peers, use for anybody wearing a fedora, as well. Hrmph! [bad]- Oscar Tong

Show us your suits
My new suit (and an old one, too) The following suits are not vintage in any way, but I hope you will derive some enjoyment from them, anyway. Here is the off-the-rack suit I ended up purchasing.

How does a bristle hairbrush work?
Patent-leather hair? Thank you, everybody, for your good advice and information. If there is anything else that I should know, by all means, please enlighten me. Meanwhile, there is one other thing that I can't figure out—what does this "patent-leather" hair look like? What is patent leather...- Oscar Tong

Would you rather live then or now?
RE: 1930s or present Ooh, that's a tough one, Matt! On one hand, the pace of life was slower in the past. People, I think, would have been more inclined to comply with the rules and regulations of society, practice etiquette, and generally be polite and courteous. In addition, the clothes would...- Oscar Tong

How does a bristle hairbrush work?
Too sensitive? Do you mean that it hurts your scalp? What other types of bristle are there? I know virtually nothing about bristle. In fact, until I started doing research on old hair styles here, I hadn't even heard of bristles in general. (That should give you an idea of how much I get out of...- Oscar Tong

How does a bristle hairbrush work?
I purchased a bristle hairbrush recently. (The manufacturer claimed that it was made with "100% boar bristle".) Now, at the risk of sounding like a dummy, how the heck am I supposed to use this thing? [huh] I've tried to use it several times, now, and I still feel like I'm doing something wrong...- Oscar Tong
