Barber is really nice - the shop is cosy and seems very well maintained.
I went in without an appointment, and the barber clearly was busy with a steady stream of appointments. Upon asking, he mentioned that he'd be able to squeeze me in, as long as all I needed was a haircut and I didn't mind waiting. This didn't pose a problem for me, so I sat in the waiting room for about twenty minutes.
The haircut itself was quick and well done. He was amiable and made good small talk - he seemed to have a greater rapport with familiar customers, which is a very positive sign. The haircut didn't require too much work on my end.
One very pleasant surprise was that he used a straight razor to trim the back of my neck. I asked him, and he mentioned that he does do straight razor shaves. He couldn't do one for me, since I was fit in between appointments. But if you're looking for a straight razor shave in town, this is the only one I've been able to find in the city so far.
I'd definitely recommend an appointment though.
