Saw a barber using a straight razor on a walk-in at a truck stop in Arizona

I stopped at a Flying J outside Flagstaff last Tuesday and watched this older barber shape up a guy's beard with a straight razor, no guard or anything. He was moving super fast and confident, but it made me nervous seeing it in a busy truck stop with people bumping around. How do you guys feel about using straight razors in tight, high traffic spaces like that?

Moving super fast and confident" - until that one trucker sneezes.

Gotta push back a little on that one @jason328. Confidence is what keeps you from panicking and freezing up when something unexpected happens, not the thing that gets you killed.
