Shave and a Haircut
...is not two bits anymore but still worth it. I've been going to Dulles Barber since it opened last year but always got just a haircut. They use straight razors for your neck, a hot towel after your haircut and have four 42" plasmas on ESPN HD to watch from your comfy leather chair. A few visits ago, I saw a guy nearly twice my age sprawled out on a chair getting a lather shave. Making best use of a half day at work, I went in for a haircut and with the place being empty realized it was finally time for my first.
Having successfully lived through the process with no major trauma or scars, I can say it's something every guy should do once. It makes you feel manly and also somehow connects you to the "days of old" when things were slower but better. Not only is it the closest any self-respecting heterosexual male should get to a day at the spa, the results are also somewhat amazing. It's the smoothest shave I've had... ever... something guys could likely use to their advantage with womenfolk.
As a side note, I'd heard of the Grooming Lounge before but have never been since I live west of civilization. I looked up their prices in response to my experience and was astounded to find a hot shave costs $58! I got a shave and haircut for half that price, excluding tip. I don't know if the shave is an identical service but they certainly sound it. I know I'm not nearly trendy enough to be the Lounge's target market but c'mon... $58? Sheesh.
