But when I was at CCC I would go to an inner city Barber (who was also a pastor in a local Baptist church). He did a good job but I remember him swiveling me around in the chair, yanking the apron off me in one smooth move and his voice booming "Go and sin no more!"

But unlike you, being a designer by profession, have always been too aware of style. <br /><br />A few years ago though I grew tired of chasing style and spending money on haircuts so I bought myself a set of Wahl clippers. I clamp in that #2 guard (one step above bootcamp cut) and go to it. It's a cut that is sort of anti-stlye style, probably the cut Jesus would choose if he were around today. It is easy to care for, weather-proof, and one that allows you to sleep soundly thinking of the cash that you've saved. <br /><br />BTW, I think I know the "eastern bloc haircut" you are referring to. Here is St. Louis we have a large Bosnian population. Most of the men have the same haircut and remarkably similar head shape.maybetodonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1318702029180659203.post-23552063857021177052010-11-07T04:46:00.491-08:002010-11-07T04:46:00.491-08:00This reads like a page out of my journal. Last yea...This reads like a page out of my journal. Last year I decided I was done with the frou-frou salons my wife goes to--done with the $40+ haircuts, the embarrassing little black smock and the really bad Euro pop. I decided to try something more suited to XY chromosones: the mens barbershop. <br /><br />Down the road from my house was this old, white building I had always ignored. It even had the red and blue striped pole outside and everything else you'd imagine in a place that's been cutting hair for 35 years. That's where I met the woman who would give me not only the fastest, most vigorous haircut of my life, but one one that made me look like I should be wearing a track suit and aviators in a Moscow disco. Who knew one could use a razor so forcefully without cutting a guy's head off? And I thought that by the time she was done massaging some kind of anonymous hair cream into my scalp, I might not have any hair left. <br /><br />Needless to say, I found another barber after that--a place just for dudes that will serve up a whiskey while you wait, if that's your thing. They guarantee that you'll be in and out the door in less than 30 minutes. And I'll be if I'm not out of there in 20. <br /><br />All that to say, there may be a great old barbershop out there that can do the job quickly and with less punitive damage. Oh, and here's to low hairlines.Cameronhttp://thirtyam.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1318702029180659203.post-74439818723321207642010-11-06T16:08:08.019-07:002010-11-06T16:08:08.019-07:00You know how I feel about your hair, so I will not...You know how I feel about your hair, so I will not comment on that.<br /><br />"I'm pretty sure communists taught her to cut hair."<br /><br />Awesome.<br /><br />(as a side note, my word verification is "hating")Ryanhttp://www.downtown.renovatus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1318702029180659203.post-8212469811950179762010-11-06T13:29:42.474-07:002010-11-06T13:29:42.474-07:00I'm with Cher on the waxing!

OK, so I had a pretty good run... I finally found a local girl who could give me a decent cut at the Orient Barber Shop last year - Naturally, she just moved out of town.
