    That's a wonderful story. He reminds me of this gentleman. Both men exhibit great wisdom, skill, and dedication, and I hold them in high honor.

    That one is one of my favourite videos to watch on an evening. Very relaxing

    My grandfather is 96 and still cutting and shaving. To be honest I’d be afraid if he stopped.

    My barber has been cutting in his shop for 52 years now. On his 50th Anniversary the local newspaper came in while I was in the chair to do a story on G.O.

    It's been years since I've been to one, the '70's actually. His name was Joe Barone, if I remember correctly. Was introduced to him by my Dad and one of his favorite items in the shop was a ten dollar bill signed by JFK when he was campaigning in Rochester, NY along with a newspaper photo of him and JFK.

    When we lived in Washington, DC from 1979-86, my dad took me to his barber-Mr. Pitts, who did President Reagan's hair. That was quite a treat. I'd have to do some research to see how old he was. I think he "qualified" though.

    +1 on Haircut Harry! Or those barbershops in India, they massage your face and provide a whole ZEN feeling. Looks like it would be really cool to go to a barber like this.

    Up until eight years ago, I only had one barber in my entire life. Although young when he gave me my first haircut, he was quite old when he retired. The barber I have now is also old, and learned the trade as a boy in his father's barber shop. Old school barbers are the best!

    My female barber is in her early thirties and is the best ever. I never feel hurried.
