Further, the barbershop I frequent also makes use of a vacuum cleaner which is hard-mounted onto the wall at the baseboard. The hose is long enough to stretch to any of the three chairs. At the conclusion of the cut, the barber will activate this blessing of machinery and literally vacuum your head, removing all those irritating snipped hairs that tend to fall into the back of your shirt. The sheer practicality of this touches the heart of any man.

Of course, salons wouldn't be caught dead doing such barbarisms; I wouldn't be caught dead in a salon. It all works out. Ditto on the simplistic approach to directions, too: "Get it above the ears, block the back and make it last a couple of months". Bingo, thanks for listening.

Straight-razor on the back, check. Heated foamed cream, check. Ample supply of periodicals and newspapers, check. 13 bucks and a toonie tip, check. Some things never change, and never should.
