He was rumoured to sell condoms...

Yes, I remember my brother telling me (this is back in the '60s) that our local barber sold condoms under the counter and that there was some sort of protocol involved- something to do with the way the money was handed over - this bit I'm not so sure about. Anyway, way back then, the local barber was all a bloke needed for his weekly supplies of everything: tobacco, brylcreem, reading material (Best Bets) and contraceptives.
