A hair pulling, hair caught in blades torture tool. I hated to see these clippers come out. I finally convinced mom to let me go to the barber. Any of you have had to put up with this thing?

Oil it up good Nate. 3 in 1 oil if they still make it.

Trust me, you didn't miss a thing except having hair pulled out by the roots.

My dad cut the boy's hair when I was a kid (family of 4 boys/2 girls), but that was with electric shears.

Just glanced at my avatar. Some things never change lol. Actually though,for the first time in my life,I have let my bangs grow out-my avatar pic is a couple of years old.
I have an old barber cup & brush that belonged to my grandfather. It still had the soap in the cup down at the bottom. It was like a piece of bar soap kinda. I think I took it out of there finally because it had been in there for 60 or 70 yrs. It was getting moldy & starting to smell weird.
No, there was a barber that had his own way of torturing
There were two barbers
One was my dad's favorite
The other...the chair of pain
Dad used me for cannon fodder
When Mr Evil's chair was empty, Dad would say 'your turn'
Dads.....togetherness...... was.....special

Now there's an oldie!
I can honestly, not myself, nor any of my siblings had to endure such, but I can only imagine the discomfort of having ones hair cut with such a contraption! ROFLMAO!
Thank you so much for the walk down memory lane, Pappy!
YES YES AND YES! Gawd I hated those damned things. I always thought they were salvaged from WWll Nazi camps!! Old torture devices! lol

I actually got one of those things as a gift about 15 years ago, .. and decades after men stopped using them.
It didn't take me too long to toss it.
My husband still shaves by way of shaving cup with disk of soap inside along with a safety razor.

I don't remember seeing those clippers around the house but I bought and sold a few on Ebay several years ago. I got quite a bit for them.
Talk about torture! In the 50's mom would take me for a perm just before school started and then for the summer. It seemed like an all day affair. I'm pretty sure all the chemicals and the dryer they plopped over my head caused a bit of brain damage.

That is decidedly "Old School."
Yes indeed, and old-school he is.
Me too. I haven't found an electric that's as good. As long as the razor head swivels to get the angle right, I'm good.
My husband says his face feels cleaner, more healthy when he shaves the old-fashioned way.
