To Sit In An Antique Barber Chair - Men Have Lost Touch With What A Proper Haircut Should Feel Like



When I was just a young boy I can fondly remember sitting on an antique barber chair at the local barber shop and watching my dad getting a haircut and shave. It is not anything like what it is in the present day. There was an art to it. The barber really appreciated what he was doing and it was obvious that my father enjoyed it. Not only that, but the barber shop was where guys could hang out with themselves.

The haircuts were at all times so detailed. My pop would be sitting in one of the many used barber chairs as the barber would deliberately take his time to give the ideal cut. Nearly all men kept their hair short as that was the manner back then. Following the hair cut was a shave. This was not a shave as we visualize today, with foam from a can and a plastic disposable razor. Rather, the lather was applied with a brush and a straight razor was utilized. It appears menacing, but it is the cleanest shave you can ever be given. After the shave was the hot towel that always felt so pleasant.

The men would mostly talk about baseball or local politics, though the matter of women would come up a great deal. It was a time to be at ease and get to know each of us a little better. Today, when you get a haircut the chatter is kept to a minimum and you often try to get out as soon as possible.

As I stroll by the local barber shop and spot the sign indicating barber chairs for sale, I speculate why this custom has mostly disappeared from our customs. Do people not appreciate a decent hair cut and shave anymore? Have we all become so anti-social that spending an afternoon chatting with our pals and neighbors seems like a difficult task? While I am not one to be angry and only desire for "how things were", I do wish that humanity will keep in mind and respect the way it was just a couple years ago.
