Barber Surgeons
In medieval Europe they often cared for soldiers in battle. The red and white barbers’ pole represents the blood and bandages of this former role. The 1545 Company of Barber-Surgeons split in 1745 when the Company of Surgeons formed. This became the Royal College of Surgeons in 1800. Today they start with the same basic medical training as physicians.

 Barbers to the Royal Family, Trumpers began at 8 Curzon Street, London W1 in 1875 and still offers a wet shaving service.
