In my youth, every time a barber would come near me with a straight razor to shave my neckline and sideburns, I would get the most horrific images in my head of his having a psychotic break and slashing my throat. I totally hated the experience.
As a kid, one old fart of a barber got his jollies by pushing his dick against my arm as he cut.


For the last 40 years it has been me and my Wahl...and my Flobee.

Word to the wise, if you don't know the barber, don't get a cut.

I guess this guy won't be witholding payment anymore?

I so often got tired of going home, being unhappy with the haircut and making adjustment. I finally realized I could do the whole thing and save a bundle in both time and money.

Cutting hair is an art that slowly died with the crewcut.

Most barbers are hardworking guys,with rent and at times a family to feed. These skilled men will make other men look nice and clean, Providing an appearance that is necessary for work, and to look good around others.

Forbid you have to go somewhere with all that thick hair on your neck, or chopping up that scruffy or nappy look.
