More shared video

Have a look at this. Have you seen this before. I actually traveled to Indiana for a day way back when to visit with an old barber and learn how to do this.

The singeing tapers as they are called are no longer available. High melt point, dripless wax is need to make these properly and this is not easily available. You can sometimes find a old partial box of them at an antique shop.

Thanks again to my friend Phil Tritton from the North of England for passing along this video. He finds interesting stuff all the time.
