    I've just been put onto this by a chap I work with.

    Sweeney Plod Petersfield - The Folly Barber - the best barber in Hampshire

    10 minutes up the road, ok half an hour but look at that shop.

    Talked with him tonight and, well, the man knows his onions. It's £25 for an hour long 'man pamper' with a 2 pass shave, face massages, bay rum, hot towels etc and complimentary whiskey or brandy.

    Happy to use a blade I take. I've packed my bags and said my goodbye's to the wife

    Oh, and as the name implies, he's an ex police officer so we'll have plenty to say putting the world to rights!

    Congrats! Sounds great...wish I could join you!

    I know watching my barber use one of my blades I was humbled, makes you never forget, there's always something to learn,and to watch a pro use one of your blades is a learning experience in itself!!

    It's the first time I've visited but he looks the part.
