Keep Aaron Cutting - Back in Business from BBH Barn on Vimeo.
Amidst the preoccupying news stemming from the UK riots earlier this month, it's uplifting to hear stories of successful community involvement.
In the case of Alf Biber, the ravages caused by his immediate community were repaired by a larger pool of strangers brought together over the net to get his destroyed barber shop up and running again.
The veteran barber is welcoming his clients into his shop once more, as he's done for the past 41 years. He is back in business just as his craft experiences a British renaissance: barber shops' popularity has risen all across the spectrum, from the simplest to the fanciest, as men of all ages take refuge in tradition in the face of economic uncertainty.
