To Be Seated In An Antique Barber Chair - We Have Lost Touch With What A Good Haircut Can Feel Like

When I was just a little boy I can fondly reminisce sitting on an antique barber chair at the community barber shop and observing my dad getting a haircut and shave. It is nothing like what it is today. There was an art to it. The barber really cared about what he was doing and it was obvious that my father loved it. Not only that, but the barber shop was where gents could socialize with themselves.

The haircuts were at all times so meticulous. My father would be sitting in one of the many used barber chairs while the barber would deliberately take his time to provide the picture perfect cut. Most men kept their hair short as that was the fashion back then. Following the hair cut was a shave. This wasn't a shave as we imagine today, with foam from a can and a plastic disposable razor. Instead, the lather was applied with a badger brush and a straight blade razor was employed. It appears intimidating, 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 banter about football or politics, though the matter of women would come up a great deal. 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 commonly attempt to get out as soon as you can.

As I stroll by the local barber shop and spot the sign indicating barber chairs for sale, I wonder why this rite has mostly disappeared from our culture. Do people not appreciate a good 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 difficult task? While I am not one to be bitter and only wish for "how things were", I do wish that people will keep in mind and think a lot of the way it was just a few decades ago.
