If your in the mood for an old school barber and to meet a genuine individual, stop by to see Ernesto in his barber shop. He's been doing it for over 20 years, the last 9 in a little corner of the El Cortez. Master craftsmanship, genuine personality, honest business owner. He's got an unpretentious shop, doesn't use technology (why should he), and mad skills with the scissors and blade. Sure I could have paid 40 cents for a bic and done the job in about 2 minutes, but the experience of my first straight razor cut was like stepping back in time, relaxing and rewarding.
You can probably find a better "experience' at Mandalay Bay or some other joint but you'll also pay more than twice the price and will not have met Ernesto!
So next time you are downtown, get a shave dammit! It's a lost art and you'll be sad you missed out on it.
