To Sit In An Antique Barber Chair - We Have Forgotten What A Decent Haircut Can Feel Like
When I was just a lad I can fondly recall sitting on an antique barber chair at the community barber shop and watching my father receiving a haircut and shave. It is not anything like what it is in the present day. There was an skill 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 gentlemen could hang out amongst themselves.
The haircuts were always so detailed. My pop would be sitting in one of the numerous used barber chairs as the barber would deliberately take his time to give the flawless cut. Nearly all men kept their hair short as that was the style back then. After the hair cut was a shave. This was not a shave as we visualize today, with foam from a can and a synthetic disposable razor. Rather, the lather was applied with a brush and a straight blade razor was put to use. It looks scary, but it is the cleanest shave you can ever be given. After the shave was the hot towel that every time felt so enjoyable.
The men would mostly argue about baseball or local politics, though the subject of women would come up often. It was a time to be at ease and get to know each of us a bit better. Today, when you get a haircut the chatter is kept to a minimum and you often attempt to get out as soon as possible.
As I walk by the local barber shop and see the sign indicating barber chairs for sale, I question why this custom has mostly vanished from our traditions. Do people not appreciate a proper hair cut and shave anymore? Have we all become so anti-social that spending an some time being friendly with our friends and neighbors seems like a chore? While I am not one to be angry and only desire for "how things were", I do desire that humanity will remember and value the way it was just a few years ago.
