Does anybody know a barber in the western Chicago suburbs that will still do a straight shave?

This is a ridiculously specific post for almost any board. But here is bump.

Frankly, any civilized city should have a barber shop capable of a straight razor shave. Surely the hipster leftists who infest urban centers have cultivated at least one such shop in Chicago.

I opened this, thinking you might want to give yourself a straight razor shave. It is something I used to do, when I didn't wear a beard.

There is a learning curve, but you can shave with a straight razor without murdering yourself after a few sessions.

First, the razor and strop. Second, the cup and brush. Third, wet and hot.

Anyway, getting a pro straight razor shave is great, but doing it yourself is very possible, and special.


Arc.
