HairCut Harry is on a mission to have a hair-cutting experience in every country in the world.
Recemtly, he stopped by Angel Delgadillo’s shop on Route 66 in Seligman, Arizona, to get a wet shave with a straight razor. This is probably the only video on the Internet that really shows Delgadillo’s old-school style.
Delgadillo doesn’t do a lot of haircuts or shaves anymore; he’s too busy greeting tourists on Route 66. He’s not nicknamed the “Guardian Angel of Route 66” for nothing. But he’ll occasionally practice his old profession.
On Harry’s website, you’ll see photos from other barber shops during a recent Route 66 trip, including Miami, Oklahoma; Amarillo, Texas; St. Louis and Chicago.
