Fan Tan Alley, which in places is as narrow as four feet, runs between Fisgard Street and Pandora Avenue, a distance of over two hundred feet. Once the main entrance to a maze of convoluted passageways and secret escape routes, courtyards, opium dens, and gambling clubs, Fan Tan Alley takes its name from a popular wagering game of the time. Often called "The Forbidden City", this inner sanctum was exclusively for Chinese and was both refuge and enclave.
Cemented in doorways are the only hint of the labyrinth that existed here a hundred years ago; the walls of this once bustling alleyway are graffiti covered and lined with small stores selling candles, wicker ware, artwork and there is even a barber shop. Once teeming with activities both legal and illicit, the air floating with wisps of lingering opium smoke, the alley is now quiet and frequently empty.

Finding a good barber is tricky. I like barber shops, but not all barbers are right. Some talk too much. Some talk to little. Some are sad. Some are mad. You need the right combo or it's just something to endure, not something to look forward to.
With the right barber, you can look better than you did when you walked in, and leave a little smarter too. (I think a barber told me that.)
I settled on Billy because he was interesting and because of his magnificent beard. He loves that beard. He constantly takes care of it. "It's like a pet, man...but it's on my face," he said to me, combing it. My daughter's school is by his barber shop. When I told her about him she'd bring me back updates as she went by on her way home. "He was grooming his beard again!" she'd scream. I'd ask, 'Was he alone?' and she'd say yes.
So he became my barber for those reasons.
A sidewalk barber in Dhaka's old city deftly shaving his customer. In addition to shaving and providing haircuts, these makeshift barbershops also use henna to dye hair and beards, something that is commonly done in Bangladesh.

The creepy Barber’s chair at Eastern State Penitentiary (ESP). The prison is in Philadelphia, PA and at its completion, the building was the largest and most expensive public structure ever erected, and quickly became a model for more than 300 prisons worldwide. Notorious criminals such as bank robber Willie Sutton and Al Capone were once held inside its walls.
