Old-Timey Barbershop

[crackerdave]

Are they extinct?

I mean a shop that has a pot-belly wood stove with an unlimited supply of good seasoned hickory wood to burn with a big coffee pot sittin' on the burner and a beautiful young lady to keep your mug full.....

Does one still exist in some little town within easy driving distance for us old men? If not,I need to open one! I'm pining for the good old days.
Anybody else?

I've never had that experience but it sounds nice.

There's one that's pretty close to old school in Waycross.

No coffee lady, no wood stove, but they do run a coffee pot, and you can still get a shave with a razor.

Kind of a young dude running it, but he's got the Old Ways in mind for what a barbershop should be.

Ain't no froo-froo crapola to be seen...

I will drive to Waycross if you will give me street address

We lost our local barber shop when he retired. No one has opened another one. Thinking of buying my own clippers and shaving my head so I do not have to worry about it any more.

Same in Dallas but I haven't been there in years so I don't know how much it may have changed. I'm sure the old man has retired by now. He did the best flat tops around and cut my hair for years. But I cut my own now and have for a while but I kinda miss sitting in the old chair, the hot towels, the straight razor and the retired guys just sitting around visiting.

Fred's, on 61 just south of New Georgia was fairly decent. Covid put him out of business. He was an oriental guy but knew his stuff. I used him for several years till he went under. It's a shame too. I haven't gotten a haircut since covid either...

There's one in Thomson. No pot belly stove but sensible haircuts. Father son shop and the son will probably keep it going for as long as I will be needing one.

No stove...but there's alot of "pot bellied" old farts where I get my ears lowered.2 Gals cut hair there, $10 for a mans haircut. 25 years ago fellows went there so they could look at their pretty legs while getting a haircut. They have to use disposable razors for a shave, DHEC says that or sterilize the blades after every shave. Aint but a weeks difference between a good haircut and a bad one anyway. I walked into work one day and they was about 1/2 dozen full grown men talking about which "Salon" they got there haircut at ? After a good horse laugh I rode them like a government mule.....talking about a "Salon", bunch of yuppies.

Only women go to salons

I did this for years. 1/4" all over. My SIL's mom cuts hair and I have been going to here at their house the last year per wife's request.

Woodrow Willis Barbershop?

I remember The Lyric, and Prim's. I don't remember Willis's Barbershop, maybe before my time, but Plant Ave would have about had to be Eunice's.

Sounds good!
Little out of range for me,though.
Maybe I'll build one here in Lagrange!
