I just got a shave and a haircut yesterday at the Coast Barber Shop in Corona del Mar. It was great! Fast Eddie wasn’t there yesterday so a great barber named Angel cut my hair. I was getting a shave and a haircut because I’m trying to wake up earlier. Basically I’m trying to motivate myself by shaving my beard as a way of saying I no longer want to be pulled around by my chin hairs in life. And I want to take control of what I do with myself. I want to blog more and wake up early.
So here’s how my shave and haircut went. First thing that happened was the shave. Angel sat me down in the chair and told me to put my feet up in the barber’s chair and he made me real comfortable. He then used clippers to cut off the beard and mustache. It felt weird to have so much hair removed from my face at once. I must have been growing my beard for at least 2-3 months. After that he leaned me back and covered my face in a hot towel. It was fun only being able to breathe out of my nose. Then Angel put some lotion on my face and massaged it in. He did a good job and I think this part is important because it helps prepare your face for the straight razor. Then he put warm shaving soap on me and started shaving away. He had skills with the straight razor and I was comfortable during the entire shave. I felt very little pulling pain and tugging that happens often during a straight razor shave.
Next Angel gave me a great haircut. He used clippers and scissors as usual but he took his time. There were people waiting in line to get their hair cut but Angel didn’t rush at all and gave me the full respect of someone who waited for his shave/haircut. I felt like I was a valued customer the entire time and after the haircut was all done I looked brand new. Today when I went into Starbucks to order my Caramel Macchiato, the Barista who knows me said I looked like I was 12 years old! I think he meant that I looked a lot younger. So go to Fast Eddie’s Coast Barbershop for a great Haircut and a Shave if you want to look fresh!
