ANTI-MICROBE SHAVING.
From the London Express


In Jermyn street is what Is said to be
the only antiseptic microbe-proof barber
shop in London. The first impression Is
rather grimly suggestive of a private oper-
ating surgery. The walls are tiled. There
is no upholstery anywhere. The chairs are
of metal, with head subject to frequent
disinfecting. The basins are made with
pedal taps to avoid the communicating
touch of the human fingers Everything
your eyes rest on seems to say: There Is
no germs me-" The barber Is clad in
sterilized overaus. He explains that this is
to prevent any of his own personal pri-
vate stock of microbes from migrating to
you. Before beginning to operate on you
he dips his hands in some germ-d destroying
solution, ana he assures you-that the ray
zor is sterilized afresh foFs each customer
From a capsule he empties into sterilized
vessel just enough soap powder to supply
the 1ather needed for one shaving job. 1t
seems that danger may 1urk in soap that
has been used to shave some other fellow.
The price charged for the operation Is six
pence.
