Quote

“Barbershops, whether you're in the States or you're traveling, there's just a uniqueness. Whether you speak the language they're speaking or not, it's kind of like when you walk in that door, there's a bonding that goes on.” - Matt Javit, world traveler and publisher at World Barber Shop Adventures
