    Default Get your shaves on Route 66!

    I really enjoyed watching this video because of the simplicity of it. The barber is enjoying himself. The lather comes from a mug and soap; soap is applied with a brush and rubbed in by hand; the hot and cold towels are prepared at the sink and are wrung out by hand; a true straight is stropped up and used.

    I'm not sure I have ever seen a professional barber shave delivered with nothing but the stuff you have at home. Really nice and enjoyable.

    I wanted to title this thread "Get Your Nicks On Route 66," but I don't think the barber struck oil.

    I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for posting. A classic old school barbershop and S.R. shaving experience.
