My mother bids me bind my hair, with music by Hadyn. Then there's Hair the musical.

There's

"Wenn ich im gelben Felde geh',
 Seh' ich von fern das blonde Haar
 Im Winde wehn.
 O Weh! O Weh!"

from Mahler's Lieder eines Fahrenden Gesellen.

And the two Barbershop Scenes from 'Death in Venice':

'You fancy this oil, Sir? A delectable scent, Sir.'
'Grey? Oh, just a trifle ... Nothing ages a man like grey hair.'

Quite a bit of lotions and colouring going on there...  And apparently Herr Von Beck had a splendid head of hair.  Remarkable for someone in his middle years.

I use Fructis Garnier too.  Nice smell.

From Winterreise: Der greise Kopf. Now there's a chiller.

That might be dangerously off topic.  Sounds exciting.  How are the dudes here with exfoliants?  Seems exfoliants and moisturisers seem to be the main male beauty products that've caught on.  And, to a small extent, fake tan.


Oh for more periwig-oriented ballades.

And not forgetting The Barber of Seville, a cut above the rest, eh? 

Actually The Nose has a shaving scene as well.

George, Mort:

groan...........
(Yes, I'm jealous, I admit it.)

Blimey! I`ve always associated coffee grounds with either slug slaughter or the Gerson Diet (you`ll have to look it up, I`m not going into the finer points here!)
