Talked to my Dad on the phone and our old barber passed away, he cut my Grandpa's hair, my Dads first hair cut and mine, he cut my nephews hair for the first time too. Old funny nice guy that talked your ear off while a cig dangled from his mouth. Played the guitar or harmonica waiting on customers. I could drop in any time, have a cup of coffee and chat. I loved the man. Jerry will be missed.
The MANS Barbershop is a dying thing I guess. Hard to find a real barber that uses a straight razor around the ears, lathers the back of your neck and gives you an honest clean cut. Barbers are not even allowed to use a straight razor on you here. Forced to go to girly type places that charge you for a simple bad haircut that ammounts to a stupidly high price. I'm sure there are some left here and there back home and when I travel to more traditional places I try to find an old boys club type barber, Spain for example.
I have a new set of clippers and just did the job myself. Not too bad, and not too good either. Some things you just miss.
