my barber has shaved me a few times and i enjoy it.. he used a shavette and lather is from a latherking.. he does do the whole hot towel thing and gives you a rubdown with a vibrating mit at the end.. shaves have always been bbs and fully enjoyed..
the place is berkeley barbers.. on santa monica blvd and i think yale.. it's borderline west los angeles/santa monica.. the cost may have gone up since i last had it done over a year ago.. but it was $17 then.. i highly recommend it.
no problem man.. where in l.a. are you? let me know if you find any other gems.
cool.. i'm also westside.. mostly santa monica.. but i also stay in culver city and the marina..
do you ever go to larry's shaver shop? it's a cool westside resource.
they have a small selection.. i've recently started shaving more with my de and have been going there to try different blades.. the guy is knowledgeable and has a neat little shop..
i had originally gone there about 7 years ago when i was first interested in shaving with a straight razor.. being only 22.. i looked at a $120 price tag on a straight razor and decided i was ok with my mach3 and walked back out.. i had forgot all about the place until just a few months ago. it's a nice little shop.. check it out.
