That, gentleman, is what I had today. I have never, in my life, had such a great experience at a barber shop, nor have I had such a great haircut. He starts off with a shoulder massage, which was unique to my experiences. Then he cut my hair, paying extra attention to the spots where I have a cowlick and where my hair stands at an awkward angle when long. He then trimmed up my sideburns and neck. After that, in an unexpected twist, he pulls out a straight razor, applies some warm shaving cream, and shaves the back of my neck. Then he pulls out a brush to wipe off all the cut hair, and I am immersed in a cloud of manly scented Clubman's talc powder. He then applied Bay Rum aftershave (which I thought smelled amazing and I need to know where I can get some of it for my personal collection -- I didn't think to ask him).
I will never go anywhere else for a cut as long as this man is still in business.
Where can I get Clubman's talc powder and Bay Rum aftershave? Any clues?

The best part of a haircut is the razor trim especially when the barber rubs in the Bay Rum aftershave makes you want a shave. While you are at Sally's be sure to pick up some Sally Hansons Hard as Nails to use as head cement for tying your flies.

Now you understand why I so often recommend them for men, on this site. That's what it's SUPPOSED to be like!
