Now that's nice.

Razor strop hanging off of the chair, a straight razor shave and a game of banks or one pocket.

What could be better?

Yeah, mine does. Not that great of a table. The haircuts roll better than the table.

I have a picture of me with my pool cue case in front of a place called Major Lynns Barber Shop and pool hall I took when my son was in the Air Force in Valdosta Georgia , I wonder if it is still there.
My wife and I went and got the pic at about 8 am on a Sunday morning because I wasn't sure how I would be received .

I could hear people talking inside but no pool balls clicking, even at that hour ,so it was probably a card room also.
She has always said I should have gone in, and my reply is , no one was stopping you !

So, Frank the Barber was Willie Hoppe's father. He doesn't look that old.:D
