–adjective of or pertaining to a barber or barbering: the tonsorial shop.

Example:
Bob loved the Coen Brother's movie The Man Who Wasn't There if for nothing more than its portrayal of the tonsorial arts. It begins with an overview of the various hairstyles of the time. Bob took copious notes when he saw the film; someday his Rogaine treatments will start working and this will be valuable information.

Wow, what an odd coincidence. I looked that word up the other day because I had been reading Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

I'm amused. :D
