    I used to live on the vine grove city limits. I. Louisville know and will most def make a trip down to check out the shop sometime. May have to bring some of my favorite blades.

    Do you all do full shaves? I have a shop here in Louisville that says they will give the shave if I bring the razor. They say the only thing they can't use is a brush and soap. And they use feather AC for neck and sideburns.

    We dont at this time we get so busy doing cuts we dont have time and that's a service that is ruined if its rushed. I always thought it would be something to do on a appointment basis. I may explore the idea . We do neck shaves with real straight razors. I live up on High Street in Vine Grove.

    We started doing them again, takes about the same amount of time as a haircut and costs the same price. Plus they tend to tip big

    yea but we get stacked up in there and if guys are waiting then they find out they gotta wait for a shave too,,,,,they usually dont have time to wait, we just do walk-ins.
