Has the barber shaving tradition died?
When I started in this business, that's one thing that I did realize - that the tradition of going to the barber died in the ‘70's. That came with this whole phenomenon of rejecting everything that our parents were doing. It was also modernization. When we look at the modernization of shaving, and the disposable razor coming about, and the foam coming about. The life accelerating is like the rejection of what our parents did. That was definitely a symbol of what your father was doing. Your father had either a straight razor or a single-blade, and there was one thing you were sure not to do, which was to be like him.
