My limit was only 800 words, so there was a lot more about the barbershop I could not include. They still give straight shaves here, although they use straight razors with replaceable blades.

Your Father's Mustache is a fantasy land for those of us who have a warm spot in our heart for the old time barbershops. I have provided the link. Thanks for reading.

A Cut and a Shave at Your Father’s Mustache

Obie,

Your Father's Mustache is located just few miles from where I live. I can't tell you how many times I've passed it going along Forest Home Avenue to somewhere else. I've even gone to the antique shop next door without knowing what it was about.

I have a few questions:
Do they use real straight razors or shavettes?
What is the cost of a shave?
Do they require appointments?

Thanks.

p.s. I remember when you were on WFMR.
