Carl's Barber Shop, A Good Time!

[Hirlau]

Yesterday I decided to try a different barber shop. I have used the same one for the last 10 years with my son. The old shop was a few blocks away & the price was good., but a few things always bothered me. I won't go into them out of respect for the young man who owns it & the young man who's cuts our hair; they both have been nice to me. The bottom line is I never looked forward to going there. It was like shaving used to be, a hassle/burden.

I GOOGLED barber shops in my county & one in particular had great reviews. It was Carl's Barber shop in Weston, Florida.

We headed there & what a great place. It has an Old School theme & the barbers are professional & as friendly as they can be. They have quite a selection of shaving creams, aftershaves,,, both Old School & some of the stuff young kids use.

I got my hair cut by a man from Italy, who has been cutting hair for 60 years. He started out at age 12 years. We talked about straight razors & his favorite, before the State mandated straights with disposable blades, was Puma. He stated that he kept a rotation of 12 to 15 on hand, he indicated that his barber hone was a Dubl Duck, he believes & he showed me the old strop he still had , which had Illinois stamped on it, leather & canvas.

Now I enjoy getting a haircut & have another place to hang out,,,,

I picked up a couple of items, Clubman, of course,,,

Thank you for looking,,,,,,,,,,,,
