To Be Seated In An Antique Barber Chair - We Have Forgotten What A Decent Haircut Really Is



When I was just a lad I can tenderly remember sitting on an antique barber chair at the local barber shop and observing my father receiving a haircut and shave. It is nothing like what it is today. There was an art 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 guys could socialize amongst themselves.

The haircuts were always so meticulous. My father would be sitting in one of the many used barber chairs as the barber would purposely take his time to give the ideal cut. Most men kept their hair short as that was the style back then. After 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. Rather, the lather was put on with a brush and a straight razor was used. It looks scary, but it is the smoothest shave you can ever receive. After the shave was the hot towel that always felt so pleasant.

The men would principally talk about baseball or politics, though the subject of women would come up often. It was a time to relax and get to know everyone a little better. Today, when you get a haircut the chatting is kept to a minimum and you often try to get out as soon as you can.

As I walk by the local barber shop and see the sign indicating barber chairs for sale, I wonder why this rite has mostly disappeared from our traditions. Do people not value a decent hair cut and shave anymore? Have we all become so anti-social that spending an afternoon socializing with our friends and neighbors seems like a chore? While I am not one to be bitter and only wish for "how things were", I do wish that humanity will recall and respect the way it was just a couple decades ago.
