To Be Seated In An Antique Barber Chair - Men Have Lost Sight Of What A Proper Haircut Should Feel Like



When I was just a child I can tenderly remember sitting on an antique barber chair at the community barber shop and observing my dad receiving a haircut and shave. It is nothing like what it is in our day. There was an knack to it. The barber really cared about what he was doing and it was apparent that my father enjoyed it. Not only that, but the barber shop was where gentlemen could socialize with themselves.

The haircuts were always so meticulous. My dad would be sitting in one of the countless used barber chairs while the barber would purposely take his time to give the flawless cut. Most men kept their hair short as that was the technique back then. After the hair cut was a shave. This wasn't a shave as we think of today, with foam from a can and a molded disposable razor. Instead, the lather was put on with a brush and a straight blade razor was employed. It appears scary, but it is the smoothest shave you can ever obtain. After the shave was the hot towel that every time felt so enjoyable.

The men would principally talk about football or politics, though the matter of women would come up often. It was a time to relax and get to know each of us a bit better. Now, when you get a haircut the chatting is kept to a minimum and you often attempt to get out as soon as you can.

As I amble by the local barber shop and see the sign indicating barber chairs for sale, I wonder why this practice has mostly vanished from our society. Do people not value a decent hair cut and shave anymore? Have we all become so anti-social that spending an some time socializing with our buds and neighbors seems like a chore? While I am not one to be bitter and only yearn for for "how things were", I do desire that people will think of and respect the way it was just a few decades ago.
