Shave and a Haircut (Another Big Thought)
I got a haircut today. I now look like a pencil-necked geek.
At one point the barber shaved the back of my neck. He lathered up some cream that he mixed in a cup by adding some hot water. He brushed it on the back of my neck and then shaved off the fussy hairs with a straight razor.
It was so relaxing, I’ve decided to grow my beard out a bit the next time I get my hair cut so he can give me a shave too.



This post would be SO much better with a photo.
Correction… you now look like a clean-shaven pencil-necked geek. ;)
On my wedding day years ago, I tried to get a straight razor shave for my groomsmen and me. I couldn’t find a barber anywhere in town who’d do it - they all claimed that AIDS put an end to that. I’ve neer had a straight razor shave and sure would like to try it…
You need to find an Italian barber. They will cut anything!
