All that stuff is so cool. I wish I had the money to buy all that. And a place to put it.

Damn....I need to buy that, open a shop and...well, I don't really want to give haircuts....or shave OTHER people. Hmmm...I guess i don't need it, but it is REALLY cool.

Great pics. Those chairs look barely used. Thought it was funny that the chair that has the "no shaves" sign behind it, is the one that has the strop hanging.

Just for conversation's sake ...
My barber mentioned to me in passing once that it is a law that a barber shop must have a strop.
His strop is completely worn through and is in need of replacement. When I asked him about a replacement, he simply answered, "Why?".
Cool link, though.

Ooh, those barber chairs are sweet. I saw one of those same exact strops in an antique store about three months ago. The "Deep Cut" pattern on the back of that strop is a diamond pattern like other vintage "Russian" shell strops, but instead of an indented pressed pattern, it's actually sliced (and quite deeply) in a diamond pattern. This diamond sliced backside makes the strop very flexible.

Those barber chairs look EXACTLY like the barber chairs at the shop I used to got to when I was a little kid. I used to sit on that black pad that you lay across the arms.
Man...now I'm feeling all nostalgic for it...
I wonder if it's still open? Probably not.
