I got my first straigt shave from a barber today. It was nice and relaxing. The barber is a young guy that owns a Barber/Tattoo shop. It quite a unique place. The shave was 2 passes and then a touch up pass. All 3 began with a hot towl face wrap. The razor was a full sized looking straight that uses disposable blades. The barber was friendly and I would go back again. The shave was a bit costly at $15 but it is the only one in town, and the only for quite some radius from town I am sure. It was worth it. The shave was finished with some Bay rum aftershave and a towl wrapped hand with powder that was nicely applied to the face.

I just told my dad (i'm 23) and he laughed at me and freaked that someone else shaved me. I told him I will take him someday and he laughed. Some people just don't understand.

Happy Thanksgiving all!
