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.

My friend told me that it is still part of the training for hairdressers so in the UK you can get this kind of shave at colleges which train hairdressers and it is very cheap. Of course you might worry about having a learner in light of what Lestat said.

I can just see him swanning around and happily trilling, "I am your Venus....." Exactly like in the ad for those razors [/QUOTE]

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

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 ********.

Like i said before. I use no soap, no shaving cream. I take the blade straight to my skin. Manly stuff that

Manly men don't need no stinkin' razors.

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

And shockingly your skin is smooth considering you use nothing?

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.
