For $25 it was the same wonderfully relaxing experience.
There are not many barbers that still do this. Anyone else know of any in the Chicagoland area?
So, you were even more handsome than usual?
My favorite is the old fashioned haircut with the neck being shaved afterwards - hot towels, warm shaving cream, very relaxing.
