    the video was great, the obit a tribute to something i am afraid is gone from our culture to never return. it is a shame we all do not have a TRUE barber like this in every town and city across this great nation.

    [QUOTE=droche;318102]Nice pics. Curious about the second photo: Any ides why there are so many mugs and brushes in those cubby holes in front of each chair?[QUOTE]

    Each customer had their own personal mug/brush that was kept at the barber shop. I'm sure if the customer wanted one, they paid the going rate, and the barber ordered the mug with the customer's name on it from the local salesman next time he stopped by. Pretty cool. Having your mug on the shelf right next to all the other guys in town who used that particular barber. Nice way to keep the regular customers happy.

    Sorry, I couldn't find a more recent, related thread with a quick search. Also not much info on this photo but I thought it was worth tossing up

    I noticed this new shop in the Netherlands. They use a lot of vintage (like) photos... the best one... albeit not a photo is the sign: http://www.schorembarbier.nl/images/...eursticker.jpg
