When I was just a child I can tenderly recall sitting on an antique barber chair at the local barber shop and watching my dad getting a haircut and shave. It is nothing like what it is in our day. There was an art to it. The barber really cared about what he was doing and it was apparent that my father enjoyed it. Not only that, but the barber shop was where men could hang out with themselves.

The haircuts were at all times so meticulous. My dad would be sitting in one of the many used barber chairs while the barber would purposely take his time to give the perfect cut. Nearly all men kept their hair short as that was the manner back then. Following the hair cut was a shave. This wasn't a shave as we see today, with foam from a can and a plastic disposable razor. Instead, the lather was put on with a brush and a straight razor was put into use. It appears menacing, but it is the smoothest shave you can ever obtain. After the shave was the hot towel that always felt so enjoyable.

The men would principally talk about sports or local politics, though the matter of women would come up a great deal. It was a time to relax and get to know each of us a little better. Now, when you get a haircut the chatting is kept to a minimum and you often try to get out as soon as possible.

As I stroll by the local barber shop and spot the sign indicating barber chairs for sale, I wonder 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 afternoon chatting with our pals and neighbors seems like a difficult task? While I am not one to be bitter and only long for for "how things were", I do wish that people will think of and respect the way it was just a couple years ago.
