Good job gathering the videos. I noticed the backhand shaving strokes and skin-tauting moves. Did he do some "buffing" at one point? Every barber develops a unique method of getting the shave done. They make it look easy. For me shaving to Big Band Music from the '40's Jitterbug Era might cause a bloody mistake or two; however, Stropping to Artie Shaw's BEGIN THE BEGUINE is sublime. It came out in 1937 and is still the best single piece of music ever played( in my humble opinion). I have nearly every version. The words of that tune are pure enchantment. (Romanticism has perhaps reared its ugly head). Ella Fitzgerald can do it right.
Is the Waldorf Saloon only for shaves? Has anyone been there? If my Lotto Texas hits I'll be there and make some more videos.
