If I wanted to know I'd watch the stupid stuff. And they charge more than a meal out for me and the wife.

Going to a regular barber was OK, he only took 5-10 minutes, charged $11 but still I had to drive to town and back an hour gone in the whole process.

So I went out bought my own clipper for something like $40. I do it myself at home, when I think I'm good enough the wife checks it out and touches it up and I'm good to go for several more months.
Been doing it that way for years now.


Can't find a male barber round these parts unless he's flamboyantly skilled in doing highlights or skilled in doing afros and fades.

My last barber, Vern, was in his eighties and was killed slipping home from his girlfriends one night when hit by a car.

I go to a shop he once owned and now owned by a gal that he trained.

These gals aren't stylists they are barbers.
