Any barbers in the barbershop?

[Rusty Blade]

Anyone here a barber? I have a secret desire to be a barber. Old school barbering seems to be going through a renaissance these days and when I traveled to cities (pre-pandemic) I used to search for the classic old school barber shops around the city. I wish I kept a photo diary of the different places. Some were very cool...with lineups to get in.

What inspired you to get into barbering? What kind of a shop do you work in?

While I'm not my older brother trained (old school apprentice) as a womens hair dresser and later a barber. He told me he went into it so he could get girls. Funnily enough he retrained as an English teacher but moonlights as an undertakers hair and makeup guy.

Im not a barber yet but next year I plan on quitting my job in an auto plant and going to barber school. Im pretty excited about it.

I've held many jobs in my life, but never that. I don't have the temperament for working that closely with paying customers.
