Cool Visit to King Barber - ~6 minutes

This is the wrap-up of my friend's first straight razor shave (he's asleep, by the way, despite being nicked ) and a look around the shop. I am by no means a filmmaker and this is my first youtube video, so forgive any issues you might see. For the record, of the three of us to visit King Barber that day, that was the only blood spilled and it was the top of a mole or blemish. David was most entertaining and I found the nostalgic feel and ambiance both refreshing and enjoyable. I highly recommend this shop for any of you who visit the Dallas area and desire a straight razor shave - for 24 dollars, I definitely got my money's worth...

Visit David's website for pricing and directions at King Barber



Enjoy,

Adam

You know its a class joint with the funeral music playing in the background followed by Woody Woodpecker! Nice ambience, wished I could find a place like that around here.

yep, great shop, that is where I always get my hair cut! classy guys and gals, and pretty decent with a straight, too. they also sell the elusive Lucky Tiger hair tonic, which I am a big fan of.

Hmm I might have to make a trip out to that area. I have been looking for a nice brush, and I could use a haircut.
