DVD Review
I attended the Western Buying Conference in Las Vegas last week. Don Wyland from Purtle Barber Supply in St. Louis, MO gifted me a copy of his new dvd "Getting it Straight". This is a comprehensive instructional in straight razor shaving. This dvd teaches a fundamantal skill of the barber and one that, sadly, is being lost to the ages. Don will see to it that you do not let this happen. Don's is the best instruction in this service and skilll that I have seen. His skillfull hands and well laid out script take you through the entire process from honing and stropping to skin prep and proper shaving strokes. The dvd touches on customer service, sanatation and even equipment and supplies.
I learned to do this in barber school but never became a master at it. Watching Don made me want to go find a guy and practice.
This is a must-watch for all barbering professionals and students. Every school should own a copy of this dvd and include it in their corriculum. We, as an industry, must re-examine this service, its revenue potential and the importance of it as tradition. We cannot lose this skill and reputation.
The dvd is on sale right now. Click the link below to buy a copy for yourself. By a second copy and donate it to a barber school in your area.
