Three years after our first Route 66 Wet Shave experience, HairCut Harry returns to Seligman, AZ, to finally get a haircut and American history lesson from the Guardian of U.S. Route 66, Angel Delgadillo, who explains to us all the problems in this country and how we the people can continue to keep America a great place to be! What the video here: ua-cam.com/video/7jA2o5LAU8U/v-deo.html Enjoy :-)
Even more simple, in that I respect anyone who.takes pride in their job no matter what it is. The best example for me is a shoe and boot salesman at a Bass Pro Shop. This gentleman has it too.
I hadn't seen an update on Angel since last year so I decided to take a trip to Google. Looks like he's still doing really good, and as of late November 2023, actually went to Washington DC (first time ever for him) and got the President's Award from the National Trust for Historic Preservation for his work on preserving Rte 66. It's only the fourth time EVER that award had been given.
Update 4/7/21: I spoke to Angels daughter today at the gift shop and she said..Angel is not cutting or shaving right now because of COVID.. he hasn’t been in the barber shop since March 2020 when the pandemic started.. He is doing wonderful and enjoying his time off.. he will be 94 years old in few days.. she is a sweet woman. Glad I met her.
To everyone - he's doing just fine, although he left his business as a barber, yet he still rides his bike and celebrating 95 in April. ✊ ...update as of August 2024 - he's 97 and going strong! 🙏
I lived in Seligman for a few years when I was a teenager in the 90's. Angel was my barber during that time, he is quite a character. You guys just brought back a couple of memories I forgot. Thank you.
I love the fact that he wants perfection and won’t let him leave till he took off every little hair off that the dude had. God bless him he’s s respectful and a great gentleman.
The way he moves reminds me of the old toy repair man from toy story 2, kinda shaky generally but as soon as he gets into the grove of it it’s flawless
RooftopSloth my grandfather is a former electrician and has terrible shakes in hands until you ask for advice on a repair of some sort, then he reverts to being physically 26 again. It’s so strange how that works across the spectrum.
@@danielalonso6223 I wonder if it's something to do with your muscle memory being able to power through it for a little bit? Or it might just be some mystical life energy activating chakras... Idk
@@thesarkive7746 so if plenty of barbers do it than it's not really work ethic it's just common practice. But you felt the need to make a pointless comment just to hear yourself type.
Angel is living proof, happy mind is a long and prosperous life. He clearly loved what he did cutting hair and shaving and has done it for so long yet it still hasn’t become even the slightest bit less fun than when he first started. What an absolute gent. He’s a icon of human existence.
I would think he's probably done quite well. He his from a time where people saved money and didn't have to keep up with the jones's just to be deeply in debt and depressed and broke. Its gotta be pretty good money lots of Walk in's and return customers fairly low overhead most likely owns building. Just my two cents
I've had a full beard for over 15 years but I would sit down and let this guy shave it all off, just for the experience points... this kind of service is not going to be available forever. (Note to the barber, we all wish you a long life) He needs an apprentice... that level of skill and hospitality needs to be preserved and passed on.
Carl Blaskowitz very cool that you would allow him to shave your beard after that many years. You appreciates quality and yes he should have an apprentice.
Abbasid those are your beliefs and I respect that. I shave and enjoy shaving everyday. It’s a ritual for me. It removes yesterday and I get a fresh start everyday. Finishing a shave with a good old fashion alcohol based aftershave wakes you up and prepares you for the day. I can’t imagine not shaving daily but it’s all good if someone thinks differently.
@@andrew09808 not really. You see it a lot now with "new" blades for each shave. Dont really see a tradesmen sharpening one knife repeatedly etc. Definitely an uncommon thing nowadays. The art is in the use of tools, not the ability to shave
Having gotten a shave and a haircut from “Papa Angel” last year, I can assure you that the experience is one-of-a-kind! His humor, wit, and most definitely his experience, made for the most memorable shave and haircut that I have ever had! I will get another shave and haircut from him before it’s too late !
My Grandfather Desi was born in Sicily before moving to the Italian section of NYC. He started as a barber's apprentice at age 11. He owned his own shops in New York & New Jersey. He was a barber till age 93! Thats right, he had an 82 year career as a barber and loved his craft. He had such an attention to detail. He gave me many a straight shave & hot towell treatment. I have tears in my eyes. This old man is every bit as sweet as my Grandfather. They don't make em the way they used to
I blame the materialistic capitalist mindset that started with the Boomers. We rather do jobs that earn money and push for the most likes and followers online.
I think you might be mistaken! there are quite a few of us youngins who are still able to hold their own ;)! After all we did get to learn from the best :)
I love seeing the old timers still killing it in their craft. Reminds me so much of my master when I was an apprentice barber. Used to always talk about things that happened to him when he was starting out, he would tell you the same old stories the same old way and exactly the same lessons just to make sure you remember. It almost makes you believe they could not even think about their job and still do it perfectly, even blindfolded. My master has been on the other side for a few years now but I always remember how he used to be, I swear sometimes I can feel him standing next to me watching like a hawk and ready to give you slap behind the ear with a comb. Respect your elders people, they're the ones who got you there.
I'm a truck driver by trade. I totally get it. I train new drivers from time to time. Out of the five I've trained only one is still in it. To learn a trade one needs to love to learn the trade.
actualy those fancy boutiques are all the same. some unskilled barbers doing pre shave, shave massage but when they take the razor in the hand they cant do shit. something is acting to be a barber and something is to actualy know how to handle a strait razor.
I have tears of joy in my eyes. This man is absolutely great. A master of his craft, and an extremely pleasant person. When he asked if he was washing good behind the ears I had to laugh out loud... Were you ever shaved by a REAL Barber? I really hope that this great man still lives and continues to swing his razor blade. I wish we had such a barber in Germany !!!
I lost count how many times I have watched this video. Anytime I am stressed or frustrated with the world then I watch it. Seems like people go to him and the world ceases to exist. He's a positive person and it shows. His generation really understood suffering especially as kids.
Love how he says a real barber, lol, not too many now days I am learning from Tim Hite 90 year old master barber, classic barbering freehand and shaving
lucianoromero777 you must also be from here in Utah. Sadly Mr. Hite died not long ago. He was one of the if not arguably the best barber. He proved his skills and received much recognition and accolades for the quality of his skills in competitions against other Master barbers.
I don't mind having a wet shave from any of you guys. too bad my country don't have that. I'd come regularly. The reason being an effective shave and a nice start on a week or month
It truly is. The only issue is barbers now days aren’t very good or consistent. You get a real barber that knows what he’s doing, the feeling from this shave is just amazing.
Hey everyone, thanks for all your wonderful comments. I just want to let you all know that I do read them all even if I am unable to personally reply sometimes. Thanks HCH.
Harry, based on your video, took my two boys here while out west. Angel did not disappoint. I only hope I'm this happy and healthy at his age. What a gem.
Im one of his souvenir suppliers. During the summer tour buses full of Europeans flood his gift shop on a daily basis. The name of his store is Delgadillo Memorabilia. That little gift shop makes crazy money.
@Isildur Son of elendil Well.. I guess the legion is half as bad as stumbling across some of the Masters army...😱☠👾 (I've been playing Fallout since the first game.. 😝
Wow. Loved how after so many decades, this man does his job with such pride and love and care. Today, we live hustling all the time, looking to make more and more money, rarely sticking to the same job. I've had 12 jobs by now, each subsequently better than the one before. This man lived in a time when America was truly great. And you could choose to do the same thing for decades on end, and keep your family comfortable. Last time someone could pay off college with a part time job, was 1978. Loved this video. Very nice to see this man do what he loves. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Some of the older barbers still charge the 12 dollars for a cut and shave. But it's sad that some people don't understand that inflation affects everyone and now people think 20 or 30 dollars for a cut is too much but when you have a barber that values his work and gives you the value, it's worth well the price.
It warms my heart to see an elder generation of Hispanic and Latino Americans who came to this country to start anew. A generation who brought with them skills of a trade and the craftsmanship of master artisans who made their mark by being allowed to flourish with their respective art forms.
I must have watched this video a good 15 times now. Just something about his personality and commitment to the job. Even if he did miss a few spots or even if he did a horrible job, I'd go home and correct it myself, but I'd go right back the next time, just to enjoy the experience of his wit and humor lol
Stuckbetweenarockandahardplace I don't care if you believe me? The comment wasn't for you bud, not my fault you like to unknowingly disagree with people. Also I don't want a person who can't distinguish the difference between death and deaf to agree with me.
Been keepin up with ya harry. This one touched my heart. That gentleman reminds me of my father. And an era of quality, attention to detail, work ethic and customer satisfaction. And on route 66. Double bonus. Thanks Harry. G
dude youre 18. no need to take all those risks of starting a business at that age. Go do some work, find something you like and see how people work. You will only learn how to be a good businessman when you have actually done the work yourself to see how its done.

Saw this video last summer and made it a point to stop by his shop while me and my friend were traveling out west. Got to sit in his chair and sign his guestbook!
My dad was an old time barber he shaved with a straight razor, and gave flat top hair cuts used butch wax, and etc..... He went to a barber college in Birmingham Washington back in the late 40's and barbered off and on for over 50 years.....This reminds me of his barber shop thanks for sharing this video.....
"The book says that this razor should be razor-sharp!" Alright, here's your thumbs up, you wiseguy! BTW, I'm right up the road, just off 66 in Yukon, OK!
Never met the old man but i have so much respect for him anyway. I was born late 80’s, and by then he already done prolly a million shaves. Love his cap!
I just recently made a trip driving from LA to New Mexico & back this past weekend. I missed Seligman on the way there via i40 but made sure to go on the way back. Thank u to the ladies who run the gift shop who remained open for me & others to still go into the shop. It was so great to hear that Angel is doing well, riding his bike, he often walks into the shop are retiring recently. I got some great pics & video of his shop & it just an honor to see it in person. Congrats on all ur awards Angel!! One of the coolest experiences in my life for sure!
Lordy we should start making biographies of these guys lives. Would be more interesting than whatever thing they got on the news nowadays. Just imagine all of the people and memories this guy has accumulated over his career.

Were you ever shaved by a REAL Barber? I really hope that this great man still lives and continues to swing his razor blade. I wish we had such a barber in Germany !!!
BÄM. MMMER. Ich stimme dir zu !
Das wäre zu geil 🔥
BÄM. MMMER. Don’t be such a girl.
ya dude. why you crying. girly man
Cry all you want, ignore those cucks
I lost count how many times I have watched this video. Anytime I am stressed or frustrated with the world then I watch it. Seems like people go to him and the world ceases to exist. He's a positive person and it shows. His generation really understood suffering especially as kids.
“I didn’t see those hairs there, you know why, because I can’t see in this eye...and the other one is a glass eye.” Classic elderly humor lol.
Love how he says a real barber, lol, not too many now days I am learning from Tim Hite 90 year old master barber, classic barbering freehand and shaving
lucianoromero777 I also had the opportunity to train under Mr. Hite
lucianoromero777. Shame that didn't want to chat. Boring 💤 guy
lucianoromero777 you must also be from here in Utah. Sadly Mr. Hite died not long ago. He was one of the if not arguably the best barber. He proved his skills and received much recognition and accolades for the quality of his skills in competitions against other Master barbers.
I don't mind having a wet shave from any of you guys. too bad my country don't have that. I'd come regularly. The reason being an effective shave and a nice start on a week or month
PIMPs too
Old school is always the best way to go

@@yourlocaldummy99 sup Arthur how is john
It truly is. The only issue is barbers now days aren’t very good or consistent. You get a real barber that knows what he’s doing, the feeling from this shave is just amazing.
Yes also doctors I go get my arm amputated when I get a paper cut
With the exception of medicine, education, technology, social progress, and a load of other things.
I watch this video once a month. It is one of my favorites.

Hey everyone, thanks for all your wonderful comments. I just want to let you all know that I do read them all even if I am unable to personally reply sometimes. Thanks HCH.
Can you go back to this barber shop again please.
I liked this guy !!
you need to go back
michael g You should go there and make a video
to far way 😣😣😣😣
what a graceful man this barber, to me its a rare find in this crazy hectic world.. lucky you be able to experience that
I love how he's explaining everything.
And cracking little jokes here and there.. Just a great barber all around.
The dislikes are from modern day barbers being salty
Bob Last yeah who could dispute that!
Or jealous
@@claymack1109 thats what salty is

Harry, based on your video, took my two boys here while out west. Angel did not disappoint. I only hope I'm this happy and healthy at his age. What a gem.
I come back to this video occasionally to remind me of my grandfather.
I didn't realise Harry was old enough to be a grandfather
I'd give this old timer a hundred dollar tip
Trust me, he makes a killing with his gift shop.
@@robertsmith9397 no freaking way. He has one. This is a smart man. Knows how to invest.👍
Im one of his souvenir suppliers.
During the summer tour buses full of Europeans flood his gift shop on a daily basis. The name of his store is Delgadillo Memorabilia.
That little gift shop makes crazy money.
His only has his barbershop up as a showing. He makes most if not all his money on his souvenir shop.
@@8BitGamer4life cool man cool, either way he knows how to run a business, nothing but love and respect to this man.👍
I could sit there all day and listen to that old boy and his joke's and stories.
Anyone else watching this at 3am, half asleep. This is very relaxing
2:45am 😆
Jesse wtf for me too
2:13am yup
and with a huge beard I ain't planning to shave..
4 am and I'm trying to grow my beard out but this is temptingggg
this man is a gem - there arent a lot of people like him anymore, who enjoy their jobs and are dedicated to the things they do. i wish him the best!
The type of guy you'd hope to stumble across when traveling the Mojave
You better not be on patrol tho....
Can't have Caecars legion sneaking up upon us while you where chitchatting with this guy
@Isildur Son of elendil Well.. I guess the legion is half as bad as stumbling across some of the Masters army...😱☠👾
(I've been playing Fallout since the first game.. 😝
Being in the Mojave sometimes makes me wish for a nuclear winter
Glad I found these replies lol
Oh the Arizona side its Mohave
Wow. Loved how after so many decades, this man does his job with such pride and love and care. Today, we live hustling all the time, looking to make more and more money, rarely sticking to the same job. I've had 12 jobs by now, each subsequently better than the one before. This man lived in a time when America was truly great. And you could choose to do the same thing for decades on end, and keep your family comfortable. Last time someone could pay off college with a part time job, was 1978. Loved this video. Very nice to see this man do what he loves. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Some of the older barbers still charge the 12 dollars for a cut and shave. But it's sad that some people don't understand that inflation affects everyone and now people think 20 or 30 dollars for a cut is too much but when you have a barber that values his work and gives you the value, it's worth well the price.
Keep in mind,hes Infront of a camera
GrandpaBarret I have a feeling this old timer isn’t going to change his way of doing things for all those years just for a camera
Jesse Cruz are u familiar with karatbars international. Start saving gold on a daily basis we all should be doing
This gentleman is a complete artist!!! He seems to love and take extreme pride in his craft!!! Hats of to this fellow.

It warms my heart to see an elder generation of Hispanic and Latino Americans who came to this country to start anew. A generation who brought with them skills of a trade and the craftsmanship of master artisans who made their mark by being allowed to flourish with their respective art forms.
Hispanic Americans are the oldest ethnic group in this country. Most anglos had them though
*hate
I must have watched this video a good 15 times now. Just something about his personality and commitment to the job. Even if he did miss a few spots or even if he did a horrible job, I'd go home and correct it myself, but I'd go right back the next time, just to enjoy the experience of his wit and humor lol
Meatwad MGTOW and you can tell he wouldn’t miss anything, anyways.
@@lockbreaker7961 nope. He's got laser precision eyes lol
I have lost count.
I do enjoy just listening to this gentleman .

Theoretically, even if he did miss, Id keep them like that and say it was a souveneir
It's good to see that people like him are still around.
Stuckbetweenarockandahardplace There doesn't need to be info on the internet, I've been going to the barber for around three years now
Stuckbetweenarockandahardplace I don't care if you believe me? The comment wasn't for you bud, not my fault you like to unknowingly disagree with people. Also I don't want a person who can't distinguish the difference between death and deaf to agree with me.

does anyone else get very relaxed when watching these videos? like your getting the treatment yourself?
iLLSoMe pretty common, look up ASMR or just go to reddit.com/r/asmr
Yea that's pretty much the only reason I watch these actually.
they're great to watch before you go to sleep
+Niles Crane exactly!
watch some asmr videos. you may be susceptible to asmr.
Video turned 7 years now. I remember watching this video when it first came out. Time goes by so fast.
Been keepin up with ya harry. This one touched my heart. That gentleman reminds me of my father. And an era of quality, attention to detail, work ethic and customer satisfaction. And on route 66. Double bonus. Thanks Harry. G
dude youre 18. no need to take all those risks of starting a business at that age. Go do some work, find something you like and see how people work. You will only learn how to be a good businessman when you have actually done the work yourself to see how its done.
Perfectly said! I watched this with a smile thinking of my father all the while. Cheers

Harry please give this man another visit for a shave.
Wow what a beautiful soul , they just don’t make em like that anymore ❤️
Tiger wrath Yes we can if Liberals can learn what is hard work and good valve
Tiger wrath you’re definitely right about that
I'm sure good souls still exist ;)
@@jivangill4929Hard work don't bring a beautiful soul or beautiful perception, if it was the case, every would've been a beautiful soul back in the days, and it wasn't the case.
And, why there's always someone to bring politic everywhere ?
@@jivangill4929 we liberals know more than others what hard work and good values are. At least the ones that were brought up properly do. But that immaturity from the younger generation is bipartisan
Saw this video last summer and made it a point to stop by his shop while me and my friend were traveling out west. Got to sit in his chair and sign his guestbook!
Such a true person !! Very rare to find such people
totaly agree !
He's relaxed? Dude im bloody relaxed too nd im only watching.
Yeah man i am about to fall asleep
Shazzkid found you
I love this little viejitos voice🙂, he has a voice that makes him sound like the best storyteller of all time.
He sounds like my Tata ,who has passed on ..must be a Arizona accent or something ? My grandfather was a native Az. Also Mexican- American
This man is a national treasure
My dad was an old time barber he shaved with a straight razor, and gave flat top hair cuts used butch wax, and etc..... He went to a barber college in Birmingham Washington back in the late 40's and barbered off and on for over 50 years.....This reminds me of his barber shop thanks for sharing this video.....
"The book says that this razor should be razor-sharp!" Alright, here's your thumbs up, you wiseguy!
BTW, I'm right up the road, just off 66 in Yukon, OK!
Grindstone I’m in mustang oklahoma
I'll be making that ride next summer, God willing.
Have you paid him a visit?
Im in Yukon too!
I live in yukon😂
Never met the old man but i have so much respect for him anyway. I was born late 80’s, and by then he already done prolly a million shaves. Love his cap!
I like how this man has a active comment section of people just telling everyone he is in fact still alive
He's definitely worth a visit every week
I might join ya just watching at first then take the next spot. ho boy i need a shave

Just saw him being interviewed by the hairy bikers for BBC television. Good to see him alive and well.
thomas skeffington that is good to hear! I will try to look for that video.
MightyElosan it should be on the BBC iPlayer somewhere.
Take a shot every time this guy is wholesome and/or witty
So you want us to die of alcohol poisoning before a third of the vide is finished.
@@otterwithagun1982 I guess he does 😂
So constant shots for 15 minutes , challenge accepted
@@casey8157 I shall join you in your quest
@@Trek001 are you still alive?
I’m not surprised he’s still alive! Such energy with a positive attitude. I want to be like this man when I grow old.

Why not be like him now ? He is a decent and kind man 🙂

That man is no barber. He is an artiste!
He's like the Bob Ross of shaving
Perfect!

So beautiful reminds me of me cutting hair. It must be perfect

I just recently made a trip driving from LA to New Mexico & back this past weekend. I missed Seligman on the way there via i40 but made sure to go on the way back. Thank u to the ladies who run the gift shop who remained open for me & others to still go into the shop. It was so great to hear that Angel is doing well, riding his bike, he often walks into the shop are retiring recently. I got some great pics & video of his shop & it just an honor to see it in person. Congrats on all ur awards Angel!! One of the coolest experiences in my life for sure!
When his daughter said good morning and he responded so happily my heart melted 🙏🏽
Now that's a master of his craft. Deeply respect the old school pros who are still with us.
The entire Barbershop is a time machine to the '60s.
This guy's got a lot of charm! I dont care how old his hands are or how many glass eyes he has. Those hands and that mouth move from experience!
A Master barber indeed. Love How he moves And Works. Is so delightfull to see a skillfull person at his Craft.
Gotta love past generations pride in their work. We would do good to learn from them. I'd love to get a shave at his shop.
Lordy we should start making biographies of these guys lives. Would be more interesting than whatever thing they got on the news nowadays. Just imagine all of the people and memories this guy has accumulated over his career.
