In a small, rural southern town, a man takes a call to be the pastor of a little church. The town itself is so small that it doesn't even have a barber shop. So the pastor decides to open up a barber shop on the side. During the week, he cuts hair, reads theology, works on sermons, and shares his faith with his customers. When he visits congregation members, his wife takes over the barber duties. Well, after the barbershop opens for business, one of the wealthiest landowners in town decides that it would be a great way to flaunt his wealth if he came in every day for a shave. The first day he comes for a shave, the pastor is on visitation, so the man gets a shave from the pastor's wife, Grace. The next morning, the man gets dressed, and is preparing to go to the barber shop for his shave, and he notices that his face is still smooth from yesterday's shave. The next day, same thing! So the following morning, his face STILL smooth from his shave 4 days previous, the man goes down to the barbershop to talk. The pastor is there reading a book. The man greets him and begins to question him about his shave. The pastor says "Oh, its easy enough to understand, friend. You see, you were shaved by Grace, and once shaved, always shaved!"
