Barbers Old and Young

I took my son to the barbers today, and I sat there and I thought about how it compared to when I was small, All of the equipment is battery driven, but way back when it was scissors that were usually blunt, The seat for a child was a plank of wood, but now they have a comfortable seat to make them feel good. They asked my son about his style, but a long time ago it was just short back and sides. The tools they use today seems to be all throw away as I look around the shop, but a long time ago they were sharpened on a long leather strop. My son got to choose who cut his hair, he chose Rosa, but I had only one choice, old Bob Fenner and I am absolutely certain he charged less than a tenner!
