Pun intended. Fortunately, I have a DIY haircut, so I'm OK for now. But there was no substitue for the hot lather, skin mags and MY barber had tequila. Nyah! Nyah! As an aside, a few years ago I went to a screening of a fantastic documentary about barbers and the decline of the traditional barbershop in America. It's called Barberland and it's superb. Alternately funny as hell (listening to these old guys tell war stories) and profoundly sad as we watch this tradition ride off into the sunset. Check out the site and the trailer: http://www.bluerain.com/barberland.html They used to sell videos, but I think they stopped. They're still looking for a distributor. Ask 'em if you can get a copy- you won't be disappointed.
