My barber was a portly bald man in his mid-50s. He had been cutting hair for over three decades. Over 3,000 scalps had been sculpted by him.
A few months before my 20th birthday, I received some distressing news. My barber found that my hair was thinning around the middle parting area.
Middle parts were popular in those days, as was Brylcreem, a styling cream.
