Well since they are pretty opinionated I don't really want to reveal the location since they might get marched on.

But it is in the Broadmoor, Sherwood area.

I knew as soon as I saw the OP, it was going to be about the Barbershop next to Reeves. Those guys are terrible and tell the same jokes every time I go, which is why I now go to Troy's.

Actually, I went to Troy's this morning.

Yeah because nothing says sophisticated like a Flowbee haircut.

Reminds me of that episode of Pete and Pete




didn't realize until now that the barber is J.K. Simmons.

The barbers I use are very entertaining. Ones a die hard LSU fan and ones a die hard Bama fan. It's like the rant all year round. They get each other so fired up its hilarious. Unless you're next up in the chair.

His Dad was a barber too.

He comes from a long line of barbers from Mamou.

Sitting in an old school barber shop I don't normally use 5th in line so I'm just listening. We just went to frick the French, that Putin frickhead, obligatory Les Miles doesn't know what he is doing, the VA takes 8 months for a fricking appt, they want you to register a gun so they can come get you, someone is giving Donald Trump a billion dollars to quit, Hillary is a fricking liar. I've been here 7 minutes. Love this shite.


Luther's in Bocage?

Sounds like the type of discourse I used to get subjected to there.

I can't stand listening to that stupid shite.
One of the few things I splurge on is the hair cut. I have an appointment. I show up and get a scotch or beer. My hair gets washed and cut and I'm not subjected to 70 year old men and white trash talking about their miserable lives

I sure wonder about you metrosexuals. You go to the local beauty parlor so that you can get a cheap titty rub and listen to the inane ramblings of the local barflies and old grandmas?

Wow, that's just so cool.

I'd rather get a haircut at the barber, catch up on the latest sports and hunting/fishing stories than listen to that shite.

Looks like I hit a nerve amongst the guys who can't get laid, even in a shop full of trashy women.

When I first moved down here 20 years ago I went to an awesome barbershop. Three old as dirt guys cutting hair. Best I could tell is they boxed, refed boxing, ran horses, and gambled most of their lives.

Had playboys in the shop and there was a poboy shop next door. You could phone in your order while waiting and they would beat on the wall to let you know the order was ready.

Do they still dust your neck with that brush full of powder?

Yep. And put the antique massager on it.

I normally go to Bocage but was in this area and I'm one that when I decide to get a haircut I just get it. Called and Dickie had a few so I stopped in the other one. I move around from time to time. Gene and Eve used to cut it at Laurel Lea. Started out as a kid at Broadmoor Barber Shop with Rod Couvillion, barber and bookie. And they had two chairs behind a curtain where the Playboys were. Good times.

Frank is the man. His son is not. And the other guy I never heard talk.

I got a high and tight every time I went. It's an impossible haircut to mess up. It looked different every time I went.

Although the antique message is the only part of the visit worth a damn.

Love my barbershop. Bikers run the place, good place to get fishing and hunting information, or superficial political talk. Guy that cuts my hair is my sister in laws (brothers wife) cousin. Sometimes go to the downtown barbershops, all run by women. They'll still give you good fishing info.
