    pompadour

    For all of you hair enthusiasts our there...how does the cut for a pompadour differ from a regular haircut? I guess I am asking, how does one attain the characteristic bump in the front? lol Is it just long fronts (or bangs)? The only other way that I can think of would be to deliberately allow...

    any health/exercise aficionados out there?

    Hello folks, I am planning to begin to seriously get into very good physical shape very soon (due to the career aspirations) but I don't know where to start! Before college, my metabolism took care of most of this, and once the freshman 15 hit (go Gators :) ) that all went down hill. I have...

    music lessons (pricing)

    Hey yall, if you were to take music lessons from a VERY accomplished piano player...how much would they run? Does $50 a lesson sound too steep? I met a potential piano teacher here in Miami and he seems very qualified and plays incredibly well in a style that I am seeking to emulate. Does this...

    need advice: the latest chapter in my life...and my new place

    Well, folks...after a veritable flop in Indiana, I find myself (once again) in the sunny, salty expanse of overdeveloped urban jungle that I call my birthplace: Miami, FL. It is actually not as bad as I remember it, and I have actually begun to enjoy myself a little bit in spite of the...

    need help communicating tapered neckline to barber

    I just found an AWESOME barber...this guy knows what he's doing! He did a great job on my hair cut...very clean and old fashioned. The only problem is that he (arrrrgh!) blocked off my neck line even though I told him to taper it. The problem is that he does not speak english very well and I...

    Any police officers/ex-police officers on here?

    Hey yall, I'm looking at possibly pursuing an opening for a police officer in a nearby town. I've never done anything remotely related to law enforcement, but it seems like it would be very enjoyable and rewarding. I have a 4-year degree in Political Science and I'm EMT certified (which they...

    the old fashoned barber shop shave...

    I wanted to ask some of yall that know a lot more about the Golden Era (and even a few decades after) than I do about the place of the barber shop shave in the routine of a man in those bygone years. Would a man go to a barber shop every time he needed to shave? I would assume not. Was a...

    my first "real" felt hat

    Well folks, I finally picked up my "next level up" hat. It's a stetson Temple as depicted here (except mine is in gray) I got it pretty cheap (a heck of a lot cheaper than what it is online), so it wasn't a major investment. I like it pretty well (it's definitely the nicest non-cowboy hat...

    question for you barbers out there...

    How can I get the gunked up Murray's off of my combs? Is there some sort of liquid that I can soak them in? I was wondering if that blue liquid at barber shops (I believe it is called "Barbicide") is only a disinfectant, or if it can dissolve this stuff. Please don't tell me that I have to hit...

    Well folks, I finally got my very first fedora (that I'm going to wear :) ) I wanted to wait to go to a hat shop and pick up a somewhat nice one, but I was randomly at Burlington Coat Factory yesterday and I found this one. It's pretty cheap (in quality and price, $14.99 off the sale rack) but I...

    Hats, Sweatbands and Hair products

    I was wondering if any men's hair products (specifically Murray's Superior Hair Pomade) damage the sweatband (or really any part) of a mens hat...I have no experience here, but I will be purchasing my first hat in a few weeks, so I don't want to start messing it up right out of the box (so to...
