He's early 80's now, workin 4 days a week.<br /><br />Restored old cars and motorcycles, was a navy guy in Korean, played in dance bands with his accordian, still fishes rivers and the ocean a few times a year. <br /><br />Smokes his catches, still. Tells great stories and listens to them, also. <br /><br />Haircut, scissors, electric razor, straight razor and warm puffy soap to scrape down neck and other areas, always that old school pomade smell in his spray he uses to set the new hair at the end.<br /><br />Yep, if we caroused together he'd be my best friend. As it is, he's one of the dearest friends, time will do that. $12, n he gets a $20 now, for 20 years, as always. <br /><br />Great read Busted . . . glad to see that city knew who was important.

It was one of the last real barber shops, where ya got not only a haircut, but trimming with a straight razor, followed by a hot towel, then a shoulder massage. For nine bucks! But the fuckin' city ran her out of business with their goddamn taxes and bullshit regulations! A pox on all their houses for killing yet another honest, down to earth, GOOD entrepreneur's establishment. I've since found another hole in the wall little barber shop run by a big Russian woman. Thank God, because I refuse to go to Stupor Cuts, and my hair grows like weeds. The Navy ruined me, can't stand hair on the back of my neck...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-3924743574462399222011-12-17T13:45:54.453-08:002011-12-17T13:45:54.453-08:00Despite all the crap in this world there are those...Despite all the crap in this world there are those people who bring joy to our lives. It's the little things that people do for us; the people who go out of their way; and the people who love and care for us despite ourselves that make life worth living. Your barber was and is one of yours.treesonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364847483878018809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-79568607113856659682011-12-17T09:15:34.860-08:002011-12-17T09:15:34.860-08:00I still go to the same shop.

When that gets too ratty looking, the lovely wife sneaks up behind me and trims the end of it off.<br /><br />I trim the beard myself. <br /><br />Then there are are those thick wild eyebrow hairs that have to be pulled out with pliers. WTF? <br /><br />But your post really isn't about grooming so much as it's about missing a dear friend. Losing them sucks a whole lot more than getting older and going bald.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-19318924187427993862011-12-17T04:24:06.644-08:002011-12-17T04:24:06.644-08:00I get my hair cut three or four times a year.
