The barbershop has always played a very distinct role in the black male community. It has never merely existed as a place to get a haircut; it’s often a counselor’s office, a safe space and summit ground for generations of men to inform and uplift each other. A barbershop is one of the few places where black men can feel unequivocally in charge and can exercise the utmost agency over how they present themselves to the world.

To emphasize the cultural impact of the black barbershop, ecommerce shaving service Bevel released a powerful 7-part video series called “Bevel Classics,” which takes a look at the different aspect of black grooming, style and why they matter beyond fashion.
