Can anyone point me in a suitable direction here? I'd ask a more specific question, but I haven't found any sources on the issue yet.

I'm particularly interested in the 1360-70s, but I'm willing to shade it a bit if need be. 15th C personals should be at least more correct than those from the War between the States.

In looking through my painting books recently I remember seeing a street scene that had a "barber shop" in the background. I don't know if that's what it was called then, but it was an open stall with a man sitting in a chair hoilding a basin under his face while another man shaved his face. There was a whole row of other basins standing off to the side on a shelf.

I'll have to remember what it was I was looking for when I ran across it.
