“A pair of old hairdressing scissors, a loose grip on the lingo and a souchon of common. Modus operandi.”
The running commentary, I supposed, being more for the ear of the dim-sighted diner than the barber or me.
To find any success in that line of business requires a diligence of discipline and a laissez-faire manner.
I squinted. I heard him. But did I believe?

Creative and engaging, as always.
