    Question I need ideas gentlemen!

    I was finally extended a job offer after leaving the military and networking/applying for over a year. I always planned on buying two of the gentlemen who had helped me through mentoring, letters of recommendation, and motivation a shave. Now I have had hit and miss experience with AOS so my question is: are there any locations in Washington DC and San Francisco other than AOS that I can buy them a wet shave who will do an excellent job? Thanks for your opinions.

    Two reasons that come to mind... cost and experience. I am a beginner shaver and don't have the money for plane tickets to the opposite sides of the country.

    Never been to this place but it's worth investigating: Camillo Barber Shop - Tenleytown - Washington, DC

    Yeah, not sure if they do straight shaves or not. I saw that they did shaves but wasn't sure about straights. There was a place up in Georgetown that did (It was 30-40 bucks) but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it and can't find it on google right now.
