5 /5 Rick Grobart: Just got out of the chair...and should probably set the stage a bit. I travel nearly constantly and try to get a straight razor shave whenever I can on the road. It relaxes me and I get to pickup a little local chatter.
And so I found myself at Straight Faded today. Called at 11 and they were booked until 1:20. I was a few minutes early and when I came through the door a barber looks up at me, says "You Rick?". I nod that I was, and he tells me hes Eddy and hell be ready on time. And he was.
But he wasnt just ready on time, he was ready to give me a proper shave - head, face, neck. This kid wasnt just an ordinary barber... He was the Mexican Michelangelo, the Picaso of Lapinta, the TaLousse La-Trec of Tullare....
He spent over an hour working on me, making sure he didnt miss a spot. Went over the same spot a few times "just to be sure". And he prepped me with some sort of steam gadget Ive never seen before, and probably ruined me for all other shaves.
The kid was top shelf, the Straight Fade staff was friendly, and the environment was really laid back.
Ill be back for more the next time Im in town.
(and get your girl in some more classes Eddy! Itll pay off for her in the long term, I promise)
