I still go to an old school barber shop. Started by the current owners grandfather back in 1929. And not much has changed!

What amazed me was the English language used, and how good it was.

We have a littile barber shop in historic Chester... and I could cut hair better than that with my Wheelhorse and the blades are blunt. The English is not so good either. I have had better conversations with an oak tree.
