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

When I was just a little boy I can fondly remember sitting on an antique barber chair at the local barber shop and watching my dad receiving a haircut and shave. It is nothing like what it is nowadays. There was an skill to it. The barber really cared about what he was doing and it was obvious that my father enjoyed it. Not only that, but the barber shop was where men could hang out with themselves.

The haircuts were always so meticulous. My father would be sitting in one of the numerous used barber chairs while the barber would deliberately take his time to give the perfect cut. Nearly all men kept their hair short as that was the fashion back then. After the hair cut was a shave. This wasn't a shave as we picture today, with foam from a can and a synthetic disposable razor. Instead, the lather was applied with a brush and a straight razor was utilized. It appears frightening, but it is the smoothest shave you can ever receive. After the shave was the hot towel that always felt so good.

The men would mostly talk about sports or local politics, though the matter of women would come up often. It was a time to relax and get to know everyone a little better. Now, 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 observe the sign indicating barber chairs for sale, I wonder why this ritual has mostly disappeared from our culture. Do people not appreciate a decent hair cut and shave anymore? Have we all become so anti-social that spending an afternoon being friendly with our buds and neighbors seems like a job? While I am not one to be bitter and only desire for "how things were", I do wish that people will remember and respect the way it was just a couple years ago.
