      When I was a young lad the hand hair clippers were still in use.They were always dull and it seemed like your hair was being pulled out instead of cut.It seemed to me the folding hair trimmer was used to thin out your hair.Never got a shave with the straight razor but the haircuts were 25 cents for children.
