Chapter 30 25．The Whalers Say (Part 2)

In order to maintain the image of whalers, there are still some unfinished words that need to be stated. Although they are only specific facts, facts speak louder than words. As we all know, the king needs to dress up before the coronation ceremony.In this grooming and dressing up, oiling the head is probably a very important item. However, in our daily life, those "greasy-faced and powder-faced" people who make their hair fragrant have always been despised by people, and people regard them as superficial and boring. In fact, some of these "greasy-headed and pink-faced" people probably do so because of medical needs, such as dealing with head sores and leprosy.

In short, people and kings often anoint their heads with oil at certain times, either out of habit or out of some special needs. However, it is clear that the oil used by the king in the coronation ceremony must be different from the hair oil used in the daily life of the common people.So what kind of oil is that? olive oil? castor oil? Bear oil? Cod liver oil? Or regular whale oil? The answer is of course no.The hair oil used by the king or queen at the time of coronation must come from nature, unpolluted and artificial, the most noble and pure, and only sperm whale oil! Oh, think of it, you king's people, the only thing your king can use in his coronation is sperm whale oil that whalers can get!
