    Default A haircut and a suprise!

    Hi all, I just thought I would relay something cool that happened yesterday.
    I took my son to get his hair cut on Saturday and during the the cut my barber and I got to talking about the old barber stuff he has in a display case in his shop (he has old straights, double edge razors, mugs, etc.).
    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?

    Cheers,
    Brock

    Hope you tipped him.

    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.
