straight edge razor shaves
I had recently had my first shave done by a barber with a straight edge razor. It was a relaxing, incredibly close shave. Unfortunately it was done in Seattle, not quite nearby.
I found a local barbershop that does shaving at State Street Barbers, 1151 W. Webster, 773.477.7721
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?

My favorite is the old fashioned haircut with the neck being shaved afterwards - hot towels, warm shaving cream, very relaxing.

I'm not positive (since I haven't had one done), but I'm pretty sure the Noyes Street Barber Shop in Evanston does that. They've always used a straight razor to shave the back of my neck like ILuvParis described.
It's on Noyes just west of the Purple Line stop.
