You should be able to find a lcp used in the $125-$150 range. Heck you can buy a brand new lcp for $200

Ill keep my eyes open. I think I paid 215 for hers in March. Will see if big r has another black friday sale on them.

Based on the Yelp photo that is the type of shop I want!

There are a couple of barbershops on or near the square in CP. Don't know anything about them except they have both been there a really long time. There's Larry's which is a bit south of the square, and Saylor's near the Crown Theatre.

I have have friends that loved Saylor's, I think because the barbers never talk.

I will probably check them out as these are the closest to me of any suggested.

Ill have to at least wait till black friday where its easier to explain the savings to her since I already had my 2 gun purchase for the year. Even though I did sell and trade some those didnt come from our checking account.

I've been there about 4 to 6 times.
I like it.
Two older barbers.
Barbers. Not Stylists.

Barbershop is a lost art.


Some years back we went to some one horse Town for the weekend for a wedding. I didn't have time at home but figured I'd just go to a barber in town. Old school place, locals all there. I wait 1.5 hr for one guy to get hair cut. I sit in chair. I just need a clean shave on my head, just a straight edge and be done. I'm bald. I sit there for 45 mins, he must've went over my head 3 times on 3 different settings... I told him I wanted a straight edge.... "oh no partner, we don't do that here"

Only licensed barbers are allowed to use straight razors (the whole AIDS thing) in Indiana and other states. They must hang the license in plain view. The barber on the square even had the old school chair.

I know that in FL barber shopped can do hot shaves with a STRAIGHT razor but the razor must have a DISPOSBALE blade. so it kind of defeats the purpose of doing this...

Jedi has zero desire to ever go to Europe but jedi wants to have this done to jedi one day. The closest jedi has found is a shop in a disney resort that does something close to this.

And it has some dumb name like shavelette or shavette. Guy on the square probably took off a couple layers of old skin too. I didn't have to shave for a few days which was better than the norm.

Oh yes the days of sun light are getting shorter. Fall is around the corner.

 

[repeter1977]

Yea, most places have to use the disposable for sanitary reasons. Granted, a lot of places don't even use the razor, although the closer to a military base the more likely to have razors

 

[repeter1977]

End of day bump. Yay heading home

Man cave barbers in CP on summit. They will give you a straight razor shave. Not sure if they are disposable or not. There’s a few younger guys, a couple of girls, and Wayne the owner. Also heard good things about McFlys by Jewel but never been there.

You could always take the raccoons on a road trip to a clip joint.

The McFly's in Lowell posts on the Lowell FB page once in a while, and I'm not impressed with his work.

He posted this a while back.
