Beer and a haircut, two bits
I was struck by this article in the Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday, particularly the following photo caption:
At Shaving Grace in Exton, barber Michael Sgarra shaves Brendan Steiger. The shop has beer on tap and a pool table besides haircuts and shaves.
At my old barbershop they turned the place into a month-long Christmas party in December, which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I suppose beer on tap year-round can only be an improvement. On the other hand, if you’re going out for a beer you don’t necessarily want it interrupted by a haircut either, even a fancy one. That’s particularly true as I’ve never been one for the new man-as-a-consumer-of-cremes-and-facials trend. Unfortunately, it shows, so beer on tap and a little more time over at the manscaping-101 site would probably do me some good.

Was there on Monday and they had Victory’s Golden Monkey pouring. That was an upgrade from the days of bottled Heineken, Amstel Light, and Coors Light.
Thanks for the link Chris. Yeah I think Kelly might appreciate you picking up a trick or two. How about going old-school first and trying a safety razor (like the one you have pictured)? It isn’t as hard as people make it out to be.

Heck, if I’m going to do that I may just go really retro and use my grandfather’s old straight razor, which I have in a closet somewhere.
Or maybe not.
Yeah I’d skip that. Have to keep it sharp and stuff. Pass.
