Sweet Georgia Brown Pocket Comb – Extremely Flexible Nylon Comb in a 1930s Style A compact, exceptionally flexible nylon comb with two tooth spacings and a gold-coloured Sweet Georgia Brown imprint. Made in Germany, this pocket comb combines the classic grooming style of the 1930s with excellent shape retention and virtually unbreakable flexibility. Its deliberately grippy teeth comb reliably through fine, thick and pomaded hair while providing precise styling away from home. Made in Germany. The Sweet Georgia Brown Pocket Comb is a dependable styling tool for anyone who appreciates classic pomade hairstyles and authentic vintage design. Measuring approximately ten centimetres in length, it fits comfortably into a trouser, jacket or waistcoat pocket and is always within reach when a side part, slick back or pompadour needs refreshing. Its black body, traditional shape and gold-coloured Sweet Georgia Brown lettering recall classic gentlemen’s combs from the 1930s. At the same time, its flexible nylon provides the resilience and everyday practicality expected from a modern quality comb. Traditionally Manufactured by RING Kamm The Sweet Georgia Brown Comb is produced by RING Kamm, a traditional German manufacturer founded in 1931. It is made using a classic pressing process employed for decades to create durable, elastic and shape-retaining nylon combs. A particularly distinctive detail is the gold-coloured Sweet Georgia Brown lettering. It is applied by hand using a traditional stamping technique of the kind already used to decorate quality gentlemen’s combs during the 1930s. This combination of historical production methods, classic design and functional material creates a comb that perfectly complements the heritage of the Sweet Georgia Brown range. Extremely Flexible and Virtually Unbreakable The comb is made from exceptionally flexible nylon. The material can bend considerably before returning to its original shape. It therefore withstands the demands of daily use and being carried in a pocket considerably better than rigid, brittle plastic combs. Despite its flexibility, it remains sufficiently stable to guide and control the hair. The durable material is also resistant to heat and many chemicals commonly encountered in professional hairdressing. Two Tooth Spacings for Versatile Styling The Sweet Georgia Brown Pocket Comb features both coarse and fine tooth sections. This makes it suitable for different hair types and several stages of the styling process. Coarse teeth: For initial combing, detangling and distributing Hair Tonic or pomade evenly. Fine teeth: For precise partings, smooth sides and a clean, controlled finish. The combination of both tooth spacings makes the comb a versatile companion for fine, normal and thick hair as well as short to medium-length men’s hairstyles. Grippy Teeth for Pomade Hairstyles The teeth are deliberately made with slightly more grip. They engage the hair reliably instead of merely passing over its surface. This allows even dense or already pomaded hair to be combed through, sectioned and shaped with control. The secure grip is particularly helpful when creating classic hairstyles such as the slick back, side part, executive contour and pompadour. It distributes pomade evenly, controls individual sections and helps create a clean, precise parting. Those with a particularly sensitive scalp should use light pressure and avoid pressing the tips of the teeth directly against the skin. Ideal for the Barbershop and Travel Measuring approximately 10 × 3 cm, the comb fits easily into a trouser, jacket or waistcoat pocket. It is equally suitable for refreshing a hairstyle during the day and for professional use in a barbershop. Its black finish and gold-coloured lettering give it an elegant, understated vintage appearance. The comb is therefore not only a practical styling tool but also an appropriate accessory for enthusiasts of traditional men’s grooming.

How to Give Haircuts at Home! – Rare 1950s American Haircutting Manual A high-quality reprint of a rare American barbering booklet originally published in 1958. US barber Howard Jones provides step-by-step instructions for essential haircutting techniques and six of the most popular men’s and boys’ haircuts of the 1950s. Illustrated with 69 vintage black-and-white photographs, seven drawings and four original advertisements. “How to Give Haircuts at Home!” is a little treasure for barbers, Rockabilly enthusiasts and anyone interested in classic men’s hairstyles. Written by American barber Howard Jones in 1958, the 48-page booklet shows how authentic haircuts of the period were actually created. Rather than offering a modern interpretation of 1950s style, the manual presents genuine instructions from the era. Numerous photographs and drawings demonstrate the individual stages, making this booklet an unusual historical reference for traditional barbering techniques. The Fundamentals of Haircutting Howard Jones begins by introducing the essential principles of haircutting. He presents the necessary equipment, explains how to handle scissors, combs and clippers, and demonstrates fundamental cutting techniques that remain familiar in barbershops today. Additional sections cover important “Do’s and Don’ts” and the intriguingly titled “Three Secrets of Haircutting”. The booklet therefore provides more than instructions for individual styles: it also offers a fascinating glimpse into American barbering education during the late 1950s. The Six Most Popular Haircuts of 1958 The Regular Boy’s Haircut: A versatile all-round style for boys between eight and fifteen years old. The Teenager’s Haircut: A classic 1950s haircut for teenagers and young adults. The Trim: The traditional maintenance cut for men of all ages, demonstrated on a family father. Clipper All the Way Around: A fully clipper-cut style that was particularly popular among older gentlemen with grey or white hair. The Flattop Butch: A highly fashionable short haircut for teenagers and adults from the mid-1950s onward. The manual also explains the differences between a Flattop Butch, Regular Butch and Crew Cut. The Regular Butch: An exceptionally short, practical haircut recommended at the time for younger boys. Vintage Advice on Hair Tonics and Lanolin In the final section, Howard Jones answers common hair-care questions of the period. He discusses what could be done about dull-looking hair, what a typical hair tonic contained and how lanolin was used in grooming products. These short explanations turn the booklet into a particularly interesting historical document. They reveal the importance of hair tonics, styling creams and pomades in everyday 1950s grooming – at a time when complete ingredient declarations were not yet commonplace. Featuring Original Advertisements Four original advertisements for hair tonics and styling creams complement the haircutting instructions. They provide an authentic impression of American men’s grooming products and advertising design during the late 1950s. Who Is This Booklet For? Barbers and hairdressers interested in historical cutting techniques Fans of flattops, crew cuts and authentic 1950s hairstyles Rockabilly, vintage and Fifties enthusiasts Collectors of historical barbering and grooming literature Anyone looking for an unusual gift for a pomade or barbershop fan Readers who would like to explore the history of pomades, hair tonics, styling creams and traditional hairbrushes in even greater depth will find the perfect companion in Stan Soldan’s German-language reference work “Das Pomade-Buch”, featuring 320 pages and more than 250 historical images. High-quality reprint of the 1958 booklet. 48 pages with laminated softcover and staple binding. Featuring 69 black-and-white photographs, seven drawings and four vintage advertisements.
