Old World Charm: New York Barber Shop

1 03 2009

If you’ve never been to an old school barber shop; GO.  The experience will change you, and you’ll never look at shaving the same way again.

While checking out my favorite blogs this morning, I came across some really great shots of New York Barber Shop.  Don’t let the name deceive you though; it’s actually located in Rotterdam Netherlands.

If you prefer a private shaving experience at home, you don’t have to forfeit on style.  Check out these modern razors from HOMMAGE (Paris).
