How to use hairbrushes

[brumble]

The stylish fellow in the old Brylcreem ads is often shown using two oval/military hairbrushes to style his hair. I recall some vintage instructions posted on the technique for using two hairbrushes, but despite my best search attempts I can't find them now.

So, does anyone know, or have a link to the instructions/technique of, how to use two brushes to style your hair? Or, am I totally wrong and no such thing exists because something as simple as brushing your hair requires no explanation?

I don't see where there could be an advantage of using two brushes.

I don't see where there could be an advantage of using two brushes.

IMO, the "advantage" lies not in the use but in the storage. When I was young I was handed down my fathers old set from his Navy days (wish I still had those ). You stored them by intermeshing bristle to bristle (if that makes sense?). This reduced the total size by 40%, kept the bristles protected and gave you a spare brush. Big advantages for deployment.

In use, I never used both at the same time, but maybe I'm just not coordinated enough for such advanced techniques.

Look at how precise his parting is.
See that look in his eyes?
That's pity, and contempt. For you.
Because you can't do what he can!
