💈 Relaxing Shave In Beautifully Preserved 1960s Ohio Barber Oasis | Kettering Barber Co.

Ready for a relaxing hot towel shave in a beautifully preserved 1960s local community Ohio Barbershop filled with plants? 🪴
It was such a pleasure to meet Bryce Howard, owner of Kettering Barber Company in Dayton, Ohio, and hear his story about how one experience at a barbershop changed his life!
▶️ Also, check out our haircut video with Bryce 👉🏼 • 💈 Classic Haircut in B...
Bryce had been working for six years in the medical field and had studied nursing for a year. He thought his professional path was going to be in the medical field for life, however, just before his wedding he decided to go downtown to visit a "real barber.” 💈
In the past, Bryce said he typically visited chain chop shops for a haircut. Upon entering the traditional barbershop he was immediately made to feel welcomed and was taken by how the barbers enjoyed their work and were able to make people feel good.
The moment that changed his life's path was when the barber applied lather to his neck and gave a straight razor neck shave. After leaving the barbershop, Bryce remembers seeing his reflection in his car and thinking “Wow!" about how he looked and felt good.
Still in the car, Bryce immediately called his soon-to-be wife and told her, "It's time to switch careers!”
Bryce's journey to becoming a barber began with a deep dive into barbering history. Bryce found himself quickly falling in love with the industry.
Within a year, Bryce was enrolled in barber school and preparing a career transition into barbering all while juggling his previous job as a full-time medical professional.
Just a few months before graduating from barber school, Bryce was approached with a life-changing proposal. An opportunity to continue the legacy of Max's Barber Shop, named after the original owner, a shop that was established in 1965.
✨ Almost 60 years ago, Max and his wife Josephine dreamed of opening a barbershop 💕 Bryce said the couple built Max's Barber Shop "with hard work, faith, and a whole lot of love!”
When Max retired, the barber shop was passed to one of his barbers named Ralph.
When Ralph passed away so his wife called Max & Josephine. They wanted the shop to go to another barber. Max contacted the barber college which is how Bryce was approached about continuing this traditional barbershop.
With the encouragement and support of his wife, Bryce took the plunge. Of course this was a risk, and Bryce constantly wondered if he had made the right decision. Through it all, Bryce said his wife always believed in him and never worried that he wouldn't make it ❤️
"I wanted it 100% to still stay a traditional barbershop and keep the bones the same and not change too much in terms of the structure," Bryce shared with us.
✨ Bryce says, "Do it because you love it, and because it's the right thing to do.”
For Bryce, working as a Nursing Assistant in the medical field was never about the money neither is cutting hair. Bryce's work ethic is driven by a need for people to be cared for and because it is the right thing to do to help people in need. So when leaving the medical field, Bryce knew he, "would at least bring all of those same characteristic traits to cutting hair too.”
In 2022, Max's Barber Shop officially became Kettering Barber Company, and Max and Josephine attended the grand opening to celebrate the start of a new chapter in the history of this community barbershop❣️ 🙌🏼💈
Max happily became the first person to get a haircut in the shop 🥹 The first of many for Bryce and the start of something to be proud of for many decades to come in the Kettering neighborhood!

[@Alex-hb8do]

Love the aesthetic of this shop. Looks like a very calming place to be.

[@HairCutHarry]

It’s such a great interior, and we love all the plants 🪴

[@ericknighton5615]

Man! That dude has such great attention to detail. He makes me proud to be a barber.

[@michaeldonohue9760]

Not only did he give you one of the better haircuts you have gotten but the shave was first rate. What a professional!

[@tylerdulak9030]

The shave with the electric razor alone worth the price of admission.

[@njosborne5540]

Every man should experience a straight razor shave from a barber at least once in his life.

[@francois_xaviermanson4769]

In french sorry : l’une des meilleures vidéos que vous ayez fait. La coupe de cheveux est remarquable, mais le rasage est simplement magnifique. De l’application, de la douceur, du calme, quel artiste !!! Je lui souhaite la plus grande réussite à ce jeune homme, respect à lui !!! 👏👏👏

[@UBERJAVS]

Have to think Bryce is going to be successful at anything. He's got the skill and attention to detail down pat. Wonderful to watch.

[@JasonRuppVlog]

I'm a HairCut Harry fan for life. ✌️✌️✌️ First thumbs up and then I watch.

[@DIYTutorialGuy]

@jasonruppvlog good to see you back in the comments! Are you ever coming back to NYC? I still want to do a collab vid. Maybe we go get haircuts??

[@HairCutHarry]

We’re a fan of you too❣️😊

A quand une vidéo tout les deux ???

This guys got nerves of steel shaving you with a fresh blade while someone's filming him! Great video...

[@snazzyanimal2012]

The hot shaves are so relaxing

[@ColinOBrienDeveloper]

That electric razor is amazing. It looks like it cut it almost smooth…nice place & good shave

[@mrmikeshea]

So glad you stuck around for the shave!

[@TheRussiansDidIt]

I knew harry was holding a shave video from this amazing shop and barber..... NOW WE SLEEP 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ericscott4587]

Great video as always! I have family that lives in Kettering so I had to check out exactly where the shop is located. Turns out, it's right down the street from my grandma's old place. It brought back tons of memories. Thanks!

[@ThePunisher1126]

Good job Harry Bryce did a great job on your shave look forward to your next adventure Harry 😀

[@HairCutHarry]

Bryce is awesome! Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼

[@spencerbeane2924]

I’ve followed for you for quite awhile now, I was shocked when I saw this video, I’m only 20 minutes from here so I see myself going there! Make sure to try some Skyline! Bit of a delicacy around this area and Cincinnati. Cheers!

[@1MundoContraVosotros]

Perfect timimg for lunchtime at work. Time to relax!!

[@HairCutHarry]

Definitely 👍🏼

[@ymmtmko]

Not only the cut, but also the shaving job is very thorough and wonderful!

[@bennomcfc]

How this guy gets millions of views per a video but is on 500k subs is beyond me most under subbed channel on KZbin.

[@user-ie9se7cf4d]

这是我目前为止看到最好的一次剃须体验视频，这个小伙子很棒，年轻有为！

[@michaelquillen2679]

Nice! So, Bryce's life's path was changed when the barber applied lather to his neck and gave a straight razor neck shave? I'll tell you Bryce, when I was a kid, I thought that straight razor neck shave was the bee's knees! Just like the adults got! In college, our campus barber shop was just like a traditional barber's shop. That barber could do traditional cuts and style (it was the 70s). Town I worked in for 11 years had a old-fashioned shop. Loved it (even though he once nicked my lip with clippers doing my moustache and gave me the haircut for free...I still tipped him the price of the haircut). Another place I lived, I found a guy who had a shop in his basement and only cut on Saturdays (don't know how I lucked out there, as I was the only non Mexican-American I ever saw there). I still love getting my hair cut at a traditional barber's. Problem is, they are far and few in-between in my neck of the woods. Keep up the good work Bryce!

[@paulogama5782]

Finally back home with a new shave session. Good show Harry. Keep on 👍

As always, great video. Thanks Harry !

He likes that checked shirt... unless it was filmed on the same day as the previous vid 😊can tell he used to be a nurse... Clinical and gentle.

[@vizzo93]

Filmed on same day. Harry is wearing the same shirt also .

[@HairCutHarry]

Yes, we filmed on the same day :) Thanks for watching!

[@JJ-vy2rh]

You can tell look at Harry's hair

[@tiaraguy7705]

It just makes sense to do, luckily most barbers seem to know how to be on camera and Harry probably gives them a little prep beforehand

[@KidFork2525]

Even I rotate between like 3 shirts and few shorts for several months. Don’t change my clothes much, just wear and wash repeat.

[@TRUMP-2024-MAGA]

Nice one Harry... sounds were great as expected. You didn’t secure the area... lol - thanks and stay safe!

[@HairCutHarry]

LOL, the door was still locked from the haircut video!!! 🤣

[@slowhandASMR]

this time you didn't close the door with the lock😂😂

[@zcriq1372]

Super relaxing as always, and I gotta point out the addition of subtitles to the video. I really like them since sometimes I have a hard time understanding what is being said, and the font isn't distracting at all.

[@badradiocaller]

Harry, another great video. As Ohio currently doesn’t have leaves on their trees, how long ago was this filmed? And do you have an inventory of videos you can publish at anytime? Thanks for your work. Go Buckeyes!

[@Robert-nx8sh]

Nice job . Great barber
