Walnut Street Barber Shop

This is a nice traditional barber shop in a strip mall. It's been there for some time from the look of it. Jim is a great barber, he gave me the best flattop I've gotten in 20 years. I'll be in his chair every time I get near it.

The first I time I went here, a young man had just gotten out of the chair with a nice boxy flat, #1 on the sides. Most barbers like to round off the corners and lose them a bit, but his were square and sharp. When I got into the chair, the barber asked how short I wanted it. I told him to skin the sides, figuring it would be as close as I could get to a horseshoe. He asked if I wanted them shaved. I was surprised, but said yes. He called it a high, tight and bloody. Since then I've been back twice to get cleaned up, and I'm planning on visiting at least twice a month if I can manage it.
