| - First impressions were great. It's clean, and pretty nice looking inside. They have a pool table, which is pretty cool. I wished the chairs that you wait in were a little more comfortable, but fortunately, I wasn't in them long, which is another plus. They were quick to accommodate me as a walk in.
The hair cut started off good. He was very detailed and took his time with it. The conversation was good, and having ESPN on was another plus. However, him taking his time, started to take too long. I can appreciate attention to detail, but when the guy next to us knocks out 2 haircuts before mine is done, then I start to wonder.
The straight razor shave was a pretty unpleasant experience, though in fairness, I think it was due to my thick 2 day stubble, and he had to change the blade twice. If you don't have a thick beard, and have had straight razor shaves before, then this would probably be for you. He used a hot towel a few times, and really did what he could to make the experience good.
Overall, it took an hour and a half for a shave & a haircut, which is a bit too long in my opinion. Also, the next day after a shower, I noticed that the hair on the left side of the top of my head is slightly longer than the right side. All that time he spent on my head, and it still came out uneven?
One more plus is that they offer a 20% discount if you have the Passport card. So my $45 bill was $36.
I will eventually give this place another shot, perhaps another location or another barber, but I will explore other options first to see if I find something better.
