There was a time when you could walk into a proper
barbershop, ask for the "distinguished gentleman" and they knew
precisely what you were after: Middle part, short back 'n sides, longer on top, swept over with a goodly dollop of brilliantine.
Nowadays, the young birds out of styling school don't know a
"distinguished gent" from a "hipster douchebagalo" and if you ask for
the
"Shemp," they look at you as though you're speaking bloody Porchageese™.
