“[...] ’cause honestly, the barbershop is one of the few last refuges of an old man, you know, where you can go and be a man’s man. And if that ever goes away, it’ll be a sad day, because I don’t think that it’ll ever come back.” So speaks barber Dave Devine of American Classic Barbershop of St. Louis in this short film by Bruton Stroube.

    I don’t know if I’d ever use a straight razor at home. But I’ve heard good things about the merkur and parker safety razors.

    Went with my then husband to his barber back in the 90′s My ex needed a high and tight since he was in the reserves. The barber got out a straight razor, stropped it, grabbed my ex’s ear, and quickly razored around it. Could have sworn he had sliced my ex’s ear off!! lol Absolutely amazing.

    Barber shops weren’t exactly a part of Rudyard Kiplings version of a Man.

    I’m 20 years old, and I learned to use a straight razor all by myself. Scary, but satisfying.
