Yes indeed, Marius; still is healthier to collect antique arms than fashionable scars

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
