To Sit In An Antique Barber Chair - We Have Abandoned What A Good Haircut Should Feel Like

When I was just a young boy 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 these days. There was an art to it. The barber really appreciated 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 thorough. My pop would be sitting in one of the many used barber chairs as the barber would purposely take his time to give the flawless cut. Most men kept their hair short as that was the manner back then. After the hair cut was a shave. This wasn't a shave as we visualize today, with foam from a can and a plastic disposable razor. Rather, the lather was put on with a brush and a straight blade razor was used. It appears scary, but it is the smoothest shave you can ever be given. After the shave was the hot towel that always felt so pleasant.

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 little better. Today, 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 stroll by the local barber shop and see the sign indicating barber chairs for sale, I wonder why this custom has mostly disappeared from our customs. 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 pals and neighbors seems like a chore? While I am not one to be acrimonious and only desire for "how things were", I do wish that humanity will think of and respect the way it was just a few decades ago.
