I got married a couple of months ago.
My grandfather took me to get a full hot shave and a haircut on the morning of my wedding. It was the first time that I ever spent time with my grandfather like that. The man has always been very stern and stretched. On the morning of my wedding, he showed up at the front door with a very large smile on his face. He told me to get dressed because he had a surprise. My dad was in the car as well. The three of us drove out to the west side of town where my grandfather grew up. I found out that my grandfather has been using the same barber shop for the past 60 years. The owner retired several years ago, but his son still follows the same traditions of a classic barber shop. My grandfather, father, and myself all sat down in chairs next to each other. The barber started with my grandfather. He gave him a hot towel and a shave with a straight razor. I was a little nervous when it was my turn to get a shave, but I tried to remain still and control my breathing. After the barber was finished with my heart change, he gave me a haircut. He never asked what I wanted to cut to look like, but I was really impressed when the guy was done. I looked like a movie star and I felt like a million bucks. It was one of the nicest things that I will remember from that day.
