Thread: Think I found out how to get a REAL straight razor shave at my barber

And I'm like George Costanza in a way, because I'm not keen on getting massages from dudes.

As long as it doesn't move you are ok...

Ha. Exactly.

I pride myself on shaving with a straight so its generally not something that I like to let someone else do, but every now and then I'll go with a buddy of mine to this place have a few bears shoot pool have a cigar get a haircut and a shave. The shave takes over an hour its so relaxing. As far as having a guy do it...I think its one thing I just wouldnt trust a girl to do.

You know, old school gentleman code said that the only woman allowed to touch a gentleman's body was his wife, so his tailor, doctor, and BARBER all had to be male!

It helps that its all guys that work there...manly guys...not the kind you see in most hair places...so I dont feel uncomfortable...Women arent even allowed in except the one that works the bar!
