Recently, he has considered changing from the straight razor that he has always used to a new type of electric razor. The primary advantage of the new razor is that it totally eliminates the possibility of the customer being cut in the process of getting a shave. In general, barbers prefer the tradition of using the straight razor to the electric razor because it allows them to better show off their skills as a barber. Although not all agree, some believe that the straight razor gives a closer shave. The new razors have, however, been scientifically established to provide just as close a shave as the straight razor. Barry continues to shave men as he always has because he enjoys the use of the blade, and because the electric razor is expensive. He is also concerned about the reliability of these new devices under the heavy use they would receive in a barbershop. Moe comes into Barry's shop to get a shave. Halfway through the shave, Moe suddenly jumps up from the chair, cheering because he checked his smartphone and saw his favorite baseball team score a run.
