The old barber on 5th in Tucson showed me a 40 year old pair of shears he still uses
I was in Tucson about a month ago visiting my sister and popped into a little two chair place on 5th to get cleaned up. The owner, Ray, pulled out a pair of shears he bought in 1984 and said he's sent them back for sharpening 30 something times, and they still cut cleaner than anything new he's bought. He told me the trick was never dropping them and wiping them down with a dab of oil after every head. Got me thinking about my own tools, anyone here still running a pair that old?
