Daniel's Shave

What do you do while your friend gets a shave on his wedding day? You read old National Geographics and car magazines, of course! Personally, I was a bundle of nerves the whole time for fear that the man would accidentally cut off Daniel's beard.

I spent an afternoon hunting for an old-fashioned barber shops to get these shaves before Daniel and I accidentally stumbled across this one. Apparently, many barbers have stopped doing shaves because of higher California regulations and liability concerns. The straight-edge razor he used appeared to be a disposable one.
