Thread: This happened today

I was with my family out and about Winter Park Ave (claimed most beautiful street in US ) Bought Musgo shave cream and AS Balm from the Caswell Massey store.

Going back to the car all of a sudden I froze, to my family's dismay, looking at the wall to the right. The following exchange I translate roughly from our language:

"Are you alright?" - my wife
"Barber's pole" - yours truly
"Huh?" - my wife again
"Barber's pole" - I repeat
"What the !@#$ is that???" - now, my wife knows I am obsessed with razors but she is still in the dark about my growing knowledge and skills

"This means there is a barber somewhere around!"
"Oh, no..." - my wife
We see shelves and shelves loaded with stuff through the window (shop is closed) Letters on window "Barber's Club"

"Yei, we found a new shop for Daddy!" - my older daughter (9), I guess the usual circuit (Armani, Zegna, Barneys NY, Diesel, etc.) is taking its toll on her...

Honestly, I am scared what may happen if I go there... Plan to postpone the expected gratification and only visit the place next month (after all, I just got the Musgo Real cream and balm today) but I wish I knew of the establishment before I even went to the C-S store 5 minutes up the street. Who knows what they have there!

Cheers

I've never heard of a barbers' club. I'll bet it smells great in there

Just give your wallet to your wife before you go in (you know, as a gesture of good will )

Wow, now that sounds like a place a man might be able to get a classic shave, not to mention a lot of cool stuff. My wallet throbs just thinking about it.

Be careful Ivo. Even though she loves you and married you, a person can only have a certain amount of patience

Just go and don't tell her. That's what I do. I don't need permission to advance my shaves.

Oh, the disappointment!

I got some cash (so that it cannot be traced easily ) and went to the Barber's Club. I hoped I might be able to see / feel in person a Plisson HMW or at least Rooney Finest.

All they had was American Crew and Jack Black or something products. No brushes, no Trumper's soaps (Trumper's rose soap was the minimum I expected to find) - nada. Sent me to an upscale men's boutique a block up the street but all they had were some suspicious-looking supers from Vulfix and lots of AOS.

Aaarghhhh!

90% gasoline, 10% motor oil :

Not sure how many (If any) are near Tulsa, but there is a Tulsa Barbers Supply Co. not too far from Hillcrest Hospital, I think it's on 11th street. They've been there for as long as I can remember, have been in a few times and bought hair tonic (Lucky Tiger brand!) but haven't shopped for shaving supplies there. Have an appointment next month, may have to drop in to see what they may have in the shaving line.

I hope you let your displeasure be known to the management. When you have a bad day its only polite to share with those who caused it.

That's as bad as finding out that Santa's not real
