| - I've been using these guys for 5 or 6 years (well, now it's just one guy because the other one moved away).
When you walk in, you're in the middle of a hair salon, but if you walk through to the back, you'll see an old-fashioned barber shop with two barber's chairs.
I keep my hair pretty short (because it has turned very grey over the years).
I still can't believe how much grey hair falls on my cape whenever I get a haircut.
Anyway, the owner and lone barber, has been cutting hair for a long time.
I go in once a month, and he's always friendly.
I've never seen him not talk during a haircut.
I don't know how he doesn't lose his voice by the end of each day, but he's always smiling, and willing to talk about any subject that you want to talk about.
And if you don't feel like talking, don't worry, because he'll just do the talking for both of you.
After he cuts my hair, he get's a handful of hot shaving cream and a straight-edged razor, and gives me a close shave.
It always brings me back to when I lived in Brooklyn back in late 70's, and used to go to this Italian barber shop that had been cutting hair for like a hundred years.
They recently raised their price for a haircut from $17 to $19, but that's understandable.
I honestly don't know what the average haircut costs anymore because I haven't used any other barber. I remember that my first haircut in a barber shop cost $5.
There's a TV in there and it's always turned to a baseball, football, or basketball game, but I'm sure that he'll turn the channel to whatever you want to watch.
