Scissors II.

about

Judith the embroidery scissors has been banished to an abandoned hairdressing shop by the new king. It was here that Judith met Ramses with the iron hairdressing scissors, reminiscent of sheep shears, discarded from the scissors museum and dating from the 6th century AD. Ramses was a rudimentary pair of scissors and got its name from the fact that it was decorated with Egyptian motifs. For a long time it was thought to be Egyptian because of the motifs on it, but it turned out to be a fake, in fact it was made by a master blacksmith in Turkey who, as well as horse shoes, started forging scissors as a hobby and selling them at high prices as an Egyptian curiosity. The oldest inhabitant of the barbershop, however, was the real barber's scissors, Geza, made of steel in England in the mid-19th century. Geza was old-fashioned, proud that it was still made by hand. At first the three inhabitants of the barbershop were distrustful of each other, but they soon became friendly. It occurred to Judith at first that what if the three of them restarted the hairdressing business, since Ramses knew all the ancient and modern hairstyle fashions and Geza was precise in her fine cutting techniques. Judith and Geza soon became close, as they were also age-matched, Judith having been made by the famous German scissors manufacturer Prym in 1891. For a long time Ramses could not accept that Judith had not chosen him as her new husband, and only reconciled himself to his fate when he was asked to give a lecture on the history of scissors at the Budapest Hairdressing Museum, where he immediately fell in love with Jennifer. Jennifer was a medieval hairdresser's scissors decorated with gold and silver.
