Adana Assistant Barber Cutting Grinding Grindstone Moustache Razor Razors Sharpening Sharpens Shave Shaving Ottoman
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless tradition of shaving in Adana, Turkey, as a skilled barber sharpens his razors on a grindstone. The scene unfolds on the pavement of a bustling street, where the aroma of spices and the sounds of lively conversation fill the air. The barber, dressed in the traditional Ottoman attire of a fez and long robe, focuses intently on his task, while his young assistant turns the grindstone with practiced ease. The sharp contrast between the old and the young, the experienced and the apprentice, adds to the rich historical context of the image. The razors, essential tools for the meticulous art of shaving, are carefully honed to a fine edge, ensuring a close and comfortable shave for each customer. The barber's chair, a simple wooden stool, is positioned nearby, ready for the next client seeking a traditional shave. The scene is a testament to the enduring customs and traditions of Adana, a city steeped in history and culture. The moustaches and beards of the men in the photograph, a common sight in Turkey, add to the authenticity of the image, transporting us back in time to a simpler era.
