    Default Your Father's Mustache

    Ladies and Gentlemen:

    Your Father's Mustache is a delightful old-time barbershop in the Milwaukee area. I have written a little story about it for a local magazine you might enjoy.

    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

    Regards,
    Obie

    Thanks, Obie. That's a great article. You've inspired me to purchase a bunch of Woody Herman's music. "Ah, Yer Faddah's Moustache" is pouring from my speakers and making my toes tap...

    Warm regards,

    Larry

    That was a great article and a great barber shop find. We all wish that there was a barber shop like that where we lived. Atleast I do. Thanks for sharing.

    Well, Obie now that you've spilled the beans and since we all know we have a professional Journalist and writer in our midst we will expect that much more from you here from now on.

    Great article. It makes me want to visit the place.
