Thread: A haircut and a suprise!

But all of them need to be cleaned and sharpened.

I bet you'll be going back there for the foreseeable future

I said to him "I'm kinda keeping a lookout for a DE razor" to which he says "come on over here...." and he hands me four different Gillette DE and a leather case ment for 4 straights and has 2 straights in it.......1 H. Boker (I think) and 1 John Rodger.

Sorry for the long sentence but what do you think?

Very nice! I would definately call that a lucky day!

Yes sir, I will keep going back there...next time I'll have to ask if there's anything else shave wise he'd like to get rid of.
Has anyone ever heard of a "lady's boudoir razor"? I ask because he had one of them as well.

Cheers,
Brock

Those sure look like nice straights! Very nice of him to do that. I'm not sure my current barber would know what a real straight would look like.

You got a good barber there. I think if I even showed a real straight to my barber he would squeal like a girl then run and hide, thinking I was going to come after him.

OMG that's too freaking funny, thank you, you've made my day.
