Anyone remember Bay Rum after a haircut?

Even in the early '90's we'd get a "wipe down" after your neck and back of head were shaved up..smelled classic, and was one of the best parts of getting a haircut IMO.

 

Anyone recall having this? I'm gonna have to track a bottle down!

Great stuff! The best part was after the cut was the massage with the vibrating hand massager. The one that sat on top of the barbers hand.

I remember the smell. Smelled great. Loved it. Still remember my barber's name from when I was a kid and my father took us three boys down there for a haircut. His name was Wayne and we got our hair cut at the old historic Monte Vista Hotel in downtown Flagstaff, AZ. My dad would always have us get crew cuts and I also remember the barber putting on some sort of pink balm on our hair so our crew would stand up. Happy Father's Day in heaven Pop! Happy Father's Day to everyone out there as well. Thanks for bringing up those memories today. How appropriate.

Ha! It wasn't till a few years ago trying out a new barber that I experienced one of these things. I had no idea what was coming so I almost jumped out of the chair. Once my heart started again, it felt wonderful.

Yep, good timing. Dad always took us to the same barber from my first haircut till the guy retired almost 20 years later. Eddie the Barber and my Dad were army foxhole buddies during the war.

You weren’t done until you got a palm of dixie peach to keep that new cut tight. And you could still use the ashtray in the arm of the barbers chair.

I think the pink goop was "Butch Wax", at least where I got my hair cut as a kid.

Yes sir, I believe you're correct. Sounds and looks familiar. Thanks...
