A bit of Shaving History

As some of you may know, I recently returned from a trip to the island of Kauai in Hawaii. While there I scored some really good deals on a few wood soap bowls, some injector and Wilkinson DE blades, and some bath soaps.

But, my biggest find was this, found in a very very old historic town on the island.

I actually remember my first barber having a chair like the one with the plain porcelain arms.

My current barber has a chair like this sitting in the corner of his shop. They also have three other chairs that are in current use that are very similar, instead of porcelain arms they are red leather. They just celebrated 45 years in business.

good info!
