There's nothing better than the feeling of getting a new haircut, especially if your hair grows as fast as mine does.
I'd previously found a barber very close to my house, but I wasn't overly impressed. There was always a huge line up for a haircut and most of the people were lined up for the owner of the store. The less popular older lady cut my hair, and while she did a job that was good enough, I just wasn't that happy with it. Also, I'm just not used to women cutting my hair. It's not sexist. It's that men understand men's hair better than women do. It's a thing.
Unless you're the famed 'Man From Ironbark' from the A.B.Patterson poem.
I found another place a little further away, tucked away in Mountain View Avenue. It turns out this guy has just opened his own shop almost a year ago. Yes, there was still a line up, but I loved that Roberto gave a lot of attention to each customer. He seemed to take forever with each client, which is a nuisance while you're waiting but I didn't mind as it meant he would also take a long time with me.
It had been a long, hot day, and I could feel myself struggling to keep awake in the barber chair. The buzzing of the clippers can be quite relaxing.
However, to finish up he pulled out a cut-throat razor to finish off the job. Funny how somebody holding a very sharp knife to your head can wake you up very, very quickly.
Just ask 'The Man From Ironbark' about that...
