re: What kind of place do you get your hair cut?

Very hard to find this service.

absolutely a dying art.

Used to go to a local place near my house. But the lady that owned it ran off all the talent. It was always her, her daughter, and a random assortment of 2-3 others renting space until she drove them crazy. Made it hard to see the same one more than twice, and hard to get appointments after work since they closed at 6.

Now I go to an old school barber shop about 3 blocks from work. I can walk over and be back at my desk in about 30 minutes. They've got a new guy in there that I've used the last 2-3 times and he's great. They do the straight razor neck shave as well. Used to do that around the sideburns too but I've had a beard for several years now. In the 5 years I've been going they went up a whopping $2 once. $24 plus a tip now, but I only have to get one about 8-10 times a year and I'd much rather go there and relax, talk to the same people every time, than try to save $5 and get a crappy cut.

I go to the kind of place where old men let fly epithets and talk politics like it’s 1960.

Real barbers with real razors

Old time traditional barber shop. For $12 old Frank gives you a haircut, beard trim and oil, hot towel face wrap, and straight razor shave on the back of your neck. Can't beat it.

Old barber shop. 13 dollars.
