When I was just a child I can lovingly hark back to sitting on an antique barber chair at the community barber shop and watching my father receiving a haircut and shave. It is nothing like what it is nowadays. There was an knack to it. The barber really cared about what he was doing and it was clear that my father loved it. Not only that, but the barber shop was where gentlemen could hang out amongst themselves.

The haircuts were always so thorough. My father would be sitting in one of the countless used barber chairs while the barber would carefully take his time to provide the flawless cut. Nearly all 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 picture today, with foam from a can and a molded disposable razor. Instead, the lather was applied with a badger brush and a straight blade razor was chosen. It looks scary, but it is the smoothest shave you can ever receive. After the shave was the hot towel that every time felt so good.

The men would mostly argue about baseball or local politics, though the subject of women would come up often. It was a time to relax and get to know everyone a bit better. Now, when you get a haircut the chatter is kept to a minimum and you commonly attempt to get out as soon as possible.

As I saunter by the local barber shop and see the sign indicating barber chairs for sale, I wonder why this ritual has mostly vanished from our civilization. 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 pals and neighbors seems like a chore? While I am not one to be acrimonious and only desire for "how things were", I do desire that people will keep in mind and value the way it was just a few years ago.
