Back in late 60's friend was going to North Hollyweird Barber College, let him cut hair couple of times. As he got closer to Barber Board, he asked it I would let hair & bread grown for couple of days for beard, and month on hair as he need someone to be Board Dummy.
Went back so Earl could cut hair and shave beard. Hair went fine, but the ordeal with hot towel before, and being shaved was not going well. Earl had instructor come over, and look. He said stop this guy will fail you at board. Find new model dummy. Apparently my beard grew uneven in multi directions, and in swirls.
Girl friends father was barber in Duarte CA, I asked him years later if he ever shaved anyone face. No was reply, as to do so would raise shops insurance rates. He did clean up by ears, and neck line with straight razor. But no face shaves.
Told him my Earl story, he kook at neck close, said instructor was right. I was on do not shave list.
