4 DAYS AND COUNTING

About Me

I've been a lot of things in the past including police officer, DJ, graphic designer ... and now Barber! Funny how things work out sometimes. Anyway, by the end of June I will be barbering at Eskandalo in South Bethlehem. I will be offering traditional mens barbering services including straight razor face shaves, so guys, stop in for a cut or shave ... or hell why not both! Looking forward to meeting you all!

My Interests

Barbering, Japanese and traditional tattoos and tattoo art, religious and lowbrow art, Post WW2 autos, history, animals, ebay, graphic design, photography, bowling, diners, pbr

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet other barbers especially the more experienced ones, tattoo artists and serious collectors, folks who enjoy rockabilly, and any fellas who want a haircut. I enjoy meeting others who have something in common. I have a small but wonderful group of friends as it stands, but I also wouldn't mind making some new friends and broadening my social circle. I'm pretty laid back and easygoing. My tastes are fairly specific, but not so limiting that I won't try something new. I just know who I am, what I like, and the type of people I tend to get along with the best.I'm not interested in having a bunch of friends on here that I never talk to, so please don't request me if you have no intentions of ever talking after that. Otherwise, what's the point right? If your page is private and we don't know each other in real life please courteous and drop me a line first. Thanks!

WTF

When exactly did things change? I can't seem to understand why people are given a pat on the back anymore for merely doing what is already expected of them. Have our expectations of others l...

62 years and counting

One of the reasons I love barbering is because of the people I come in contact with every day ... the older gentlemen in particular. On any given day I get to connect with a living piece of history .....
