When I was a kid I loved going to our towns only barbershop because of
the hot shaving cream, straight razor shave and hot towel.

In St. George, Utah today. Trade show. Need a haircut real bad.
Google barber shops. First one closed, vacant. Second one closed
vacant. Hmmm
Third real barber shop, two guys, looks like perhaps a half hour
wait. After a minute or two the barber asked if my name was on the
wall. I looked up at a white board and saw perhaps 12 other names.
Told him I was on a lunch break, he said to come back after work,
maybe he would be able to fit me in.
OK, keep driving, across the street a sign says barber shop. Hard to
figure out where it is, oh, back behind the hair salon. Walked in,
nobody in there... but then this tall slim woman with long blond hair
comes walking in and says sit down. German accent. OK fine not a
real barber but whatever, I need a hair cut.
Then she starts on the story. From Germany. A barber not a hair
dresser. She does not fuss around she says. Been doing this for 25
years, men only. Trained in Germany.
Hair cut took 10 minutes or less start to finish, including a hot
shaving mug brush and straight razor to the neck with a hot towel
massage. She was a real barber, probably the best I have seen for 30
years. $15 In and out. German speed and precision.
Wish I could take her with me. Harder to find real barbers and real
barber shops anymore.
