I let him watch me get a haircut; he freaked when my barber pulled out the straight-razor and trimmed, but calmed down when he found out could skip that part.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29470700.post-83807469832891621702007-11-18T09:42:00.000-05:002007-11-18T09:42:00.000-05:00Chris,I enjoyed this post.

After a quick inventory I realized that I habitually went to salons and had my hair cut by the prettiest girl I could find there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098509222229439608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29470700.post-37749908041311745572007-11-16T22:32:00.000-05:002007-11-16T22:32:00.000-05:00I'm pretty sure a couple of my barbers have been b...I'm pretty sure a couple of my barbers have been blind but that didn't stop them!

He does the usual massage thing with his fingertips then kind of whacks my head with backs of his knuckles, and finally squeezes my skull between my forehead and the back of my head. Tough to describe, but it's a wonderful thing.Cooper Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11055998569685767058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29470700.post-22927201450997761992007-11-14T20:56:00.000-05:002007-11-14T20:56:00.000-05:00hmmm...

I could do something w/this as my childhood barber was a diehard NRA member, had a fishtank the size of a waterbuffalo and was in the ground floor of a 2 story parking garage, so it was always pleasntly dark and almost eerie in there.Cap'n Ergo "XL+II" Jinglebollockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843124493633147728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29470700.post-83814125126366371482007-11-14T20:19:00.000-05:002007-11-14T20:19:00.000-05:00chris if you come to NY i will take you to Astor P...chris if you come to NY i will take you to Astor Place Barbers for the haircut of a lifetime.....Distributorcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149154929149577121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29470700.post-63834681995639592422007-11-14T19:56:00.000-05:002007-11-14T19:56:00.000-05:00I miss those old time barber dudes.I miss those old time barber dudes.Dr. Monkey Von Monkersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370062692837972451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29470700.post-15654101059854516962007-11-14T16:08:00.000-05:002007-11-14T16:08:00.000-05:00Great post Chris, reminded me of a joke I posted o...Great post Chris, reminded me of a joke I posted over at my place...SkylersDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264164502733912326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29470700.post-83766557512205258892007-11-14T14:28:00.000-05:002007-11-14T14:28:00.000-05:00My grandpa (dad's dad) was a barber.

I looked just like your avatar.<BR/><BR/>My grandpa's shop didn't look like a place any woman had ever been. Ever. Actually, by the time I ever saw it, he was so old, that if anyone was letting him cut their hair they had to be nuts!<BR/><BR/>There was some super cool stuff in the basement when they were dead and we had to clean it out. Boxes of straight razors that looked as old as forever, and the sharpest scissors ever - you could use them for weapons. I wonder what my mom did with all those scissors? Hmmmm. I'll have to 'casually' ask for a pair of scissors at my siblings' houses... hmmmm.bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309024574089677684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29470700.post-64401306333286533432007-11-14T13:50:00.000-05:002007-11-14T13:50:00.000-05:00As far as the straight razor shave, I'm lumping th...As far as the straight razor shave, I'm lumping that into "things to accomplish before I die".
