SHORTAGE OF RAZORS
The shortage of razors of every kind is becoming more acute. Barbers’ shops report that blade razors and the standards and blades of safety razors arc unprocurable. Small quantities of safety blades are coming in from time to time, but these are described as a mere drop in the ocean when compared with the demand. There is a difference of opinion whether the lack of shaving equipment has so far brought much more custom to the shaving saloons. But it is clear that such custom will not be welcomed by the barbers. They are already working very short-handed, and a shave takes almost as much time as a haircut at double the price.
