The barber was part appearance consultant, masterful razor technician, gossip, and psychotherapist. Okay guys, fess up
Barbers are a dying breed here in the US, Lestat. The last true barber shop I visited - where they use straight razors, ask if you want a shave, place hot towels on your neck, and sport the classic red and white pole outside of their front door - was in a little town east of Atlanta, Georgia. That was over 8 years ago, alas...and since then, I haven't spotted one. Actually, their price was very reasonable: a cut without a shave was something like $5 or $6, and that still included the hot towel treatment The barber was part appearance consultant, masterful razor technician, gossip, and psychotherapist.

Not to mention sunning his legs with a gaggle of buxom beauties in the back of a pink droptop on the way to the beach

Mag: Don't remember much at all of last night do you?
Me: put simply.... No
Mag: From what I put together of your late night drunken ramblings? Vodka, 3 girls, and then we played tic-tac-toe and slapped each other around.

That would put me in the perfect mood to terrorise the neighborhood with vicious antics. Good idea!
My mother and father rented out their first apartment above a local barbershop. I guess the people still own it, and someone shot an indie film in the old location about 2-3 years back or so because it's been around for so long. They've gained a number of new customer's from it and since moved into a bigger place. I got the trim and shave from their once with the straight razor. The guy complained about my beard too. Ended up giving him a $5 tip to stop his horrid ********.

Au contraire. The difference is that he won't get arrested for having a beard.

Magrus -- Reminds me of a novel we teach in gr 10. "To Kill a Mocking Bird". The child asks why the men have beards, the other kid replies "why to tickle their wives of course" . It always makes me laugh, that comment.

Ha, I'd forgotten about that line in that book! That's not my reason, but it's just a bonus.
