splurged on a shave and a haircut today. wish the haircut was a little more even which is why i splurged to begin with instead of going to the much cheaper place on st. marks. but i really like the place as barbershops go. and they do a fair amount of business so im not alone in thinking that. also, apparently there is no such thing as a trim. barbers only know "cut." get a pair of scissors in their hands and theres no stopping them.
