To Be Seated In An Antique Barber Chair - We Have Lost Touch With What A Proper Haircut Really Is




When I was just a lad I can tenderly recall sitting on an antique barber chair at the community barber shop and watching my dad receiving a haircut and shave. It is not anything like what it is in our day. There was an skill 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 hang out with themselves.

The haircuts were always so precise. My dad would be sitting in one of the numerous used barber chairs as the barber would purposely take his time to give the flawless cut. Nearly all men kept their hair short as that was the fashion back then. After the hair cut was a shave. This was not a shave as we see today, with foam from a can and a synthetic disposable razor. Rather, the lather was put on with a brush and a straight blade razor was chosen. It appears frightening, but it is the cleanest shave you can ever obtain. After the shave was the hot towel that always felt so enjoyable.

The men would principally talk about baseball or local politics, though the matter of women would come up often. It was a time to be at ease 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 possible.

As I stroll by the local barber shop and observe the sign indicating barber chairs for sale, I question why this practice has mostly disappeared 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 being friendly with our pals and neighbors seems like a job? While I am not one to be cynical and only long for for "how things were", I do wish that humanity will recall and respect the way it was just a few years ago.
