In a different scenary, who doesn't remember the movie Royal Flash, where Malcom MacDowel (Flashman) had to be scarred in his face to impersonate the Danish prince; but at least here there was some practical sense ... so to say. . |

There was a documentary film made in the early sixties, Mondo Cane, in which a German student got his scar at a Barber's shop. From what I remember the barber offered this service to those young men who desired the scar.

Who kows the barber had a catalogue from which the clients could select the style of scar they wanted to exhibit ... like for a hair cut.
Rick, i remember the film, but hardly the details; no wonder, you are so much younger ![]() |

Mark Twain devoted part of his well known 1880 book, A Tramp Abroad, to a view of his own observations of Heidelberg students' fencing.
An amusing read. |
