💈 Shave By 83 Year Old Mr. Cho In The Eclectic Old School 석조이발관 Stone Barbershop | Seoul

During our time in South Korea, we met and filmed with a really awesome old school gentleman named Mr. Cho 💈❤️ He is the owner of the eclectic 석조이발관 Stone Barbershop in the 돈암동 Donam-dong neighborhood of Seoul 🇰🇷
Thanks so much for watching our most recent haircut video with Mr. Cho 🙏🏼 Check it out here if you missed it👇🏼
• 💈 Is This The Best Old...
While researching barbershops in Seoul, I found one photo online showing the exterior of a barbershop that looked interesting to me. When I visited the barbershop I immediately knew it was a one of a kind shop and the barber had a long interesting history.
Mr. Cho is 83 years old and is from a rural area in the southern part of Korea. Tragically, his parents passed away when he was 8 years old.
Alone in the world, he decided to travel to Seoul as he had heard people around him talking about there being work in the town. He didn’t really comprehend where it was nor that it was the capital.
He smuggled himself onto a train he was told was going to Seoul and when the conductor came around asking for tickets, an older woman hid him under her long traditional Korean dress.
Once he arrived at Seoul Station, he was lost as he did not know anyone. On his own and hungry, a man noticed him at the station and offered him a job. It turned out the man had sold him to a local baker for labor and he had to work the debt off!
About a year later, not far from the bakery, he noticed a shop where men would enter with long messy hair and then reappear neatly groomed. It was a barbershop and it was this shop that first sparked his interest in barbering 💈
Stone Barbershop has been in business for over 50 years. It is actually a converted garage that was built into the side of an embankment. An underground staircase once connected the shop to a house above, and Mr Cho told us the owner of that house used to come down from his home for a haircut! 💇🏻‍♂️
The house has since been replaced by an apartment complex, and the staircase was blocked off.
Passionate about volunteer work, every week you will find Mr. Cho in the countryside giving free haircuts to senior citizens who are unable to travel to barbershops ❤️
Also, he enjoys recycling and reusing things. Mr. Cho finds things people throw away that still have use and he gives the items to people who need them or want them.

83 years old, and he still has remarkable dexterity in his hands and fingers.

[@samuelhall494]

I was just thinking that!!

[@dan8611]

Yes chef Andy 😂😂😂

[@penelopelgoss2520]

Do you think maybe he should have started the shave with a new razor? Instead of switching to what I assume was a new blade part way through the shave? Though I question if it was a new razor as he didn't unwrap it.

[@carsonroemer9802]

Mr. Cho is a kind person And the whole aesthetician and feeling of the place he runs is amazing. Keep at it Mr. Cho

[@derrenleepoole]

I love that space. There’s a story and photograph everywhere you look. The acoustics are also particularly interesting in this space.

[@Lacy-ym7re]

Does anyone else skip to the last half of shaving videos to see if there is a face or scalp massage? Haha

OMG Harry!!! Where do you keep finding these treasure trove barber shops!!! I could literally sit there for hours, just taking the place in. I love this little gold mine of .........stuff! Doesn't always have to be spit polished to be great, this gentleman is definitely old school but that is not derogatory in any means. You can just sense the wisdom, and as someone else said.......the dexterity in his hands is incredible for his age. A true stalwart!! Amazing video Harry ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Good job ❤❤❤

[@Badonicus]

Fab video Harry. Barber wasn't taking No for an answer when he wanted to wash your hair. He has every piece of paraphernalia, including a piece from a guillotine it seems, where you rest your head 😂. Great shave though.

[@silasleeks2324]

Are you in the eastern time zone bc I always get notified in the afternoon with new videos and want to sleep 😂 😴 💤

[@sithrage]

Seems like you must be at least 70 years old to become a barber in Korea ;)

[@JoseLopez-ob4is]

me relajan mucho estos videos

Great content and as a long time fan I wait on he notifications. May I make a request for compilations of lathering of the shaving cream or sound of hair washing?

I just noticed, the part where Harry's about to go for his hairwash till the end is exactly as the haircut vid with Mr Cho 😂😂😂

You should have asked him what’s the beauty secret to still looking good at 83.

Scratch “get shave in closet” off the bucket list

[@NinjaKat111]

It's a small room, the items you see are given as gifts and donations to the needy, as well to those who would like to get them. Harry explained this in the description of the hair wash and hair cut/styling video with Mr Cho. I've also seen what storage rooms of ngo's look like, and it's not far from this, full with items given by kind people, to be used as donation to the poor and the homeless.
