In the Nick of Time-a close shave.

Getting it straight.  That's all I ever ask for.  It's not hard to find. 

They have been there for many many years.  Right around the corner from where I live.

and all I had to do is look in and see......

that strip of leather hanging from the chair.....the leather strop!

yep getting it straight via the straight razor.

yes, boar hair brush and shaving soap

then making sure the edge is right!

gettin' soaped up.

and away it goes!  Would have taken more photo's but as you see moving about will add the Van Gogh to the Van Dyke.

nice hot towels follow

"...an elegant weapon for a more civilized age..."   The man tells me he has used this for over forty years.  Wonderful German steel....by the company that is know today as Zwilling J.A. Henckels.

You should always maintain a good relationship with your barber and tip him well, else.........

Now how's this for results!
