It drove me nuts when New McGarrett and New Magnum showed up in their dress whites with three-day beards or goattees.

Mr Natty, who has an interesting video linked to much earlier in this thread, when he worked in London, seems to have landed in NYC, at a shop called Tuft. $65 a pop is about $40 too rich for my blood, though.

Are you sure this isn't a DC-3?

Great clip! I love it when his hat is suddenly too big.

Though I really like the ambience, I find a lot of what are labelled as "traditional" barbershops nowadays are filled with tattooed, pierced, lumberjack-bearded hipsters who only know how to do one cut and that with buzzers. I've been going to a salon for years as the barber there knows how to...
