When I moved into Thornbury, I just knew I'd find an awesome barber shop. This is it...
They do lotto and scratchies in here and four days a week, the old bloke cuts hair. A men's cut is $15 (recently increased from $14, but I don't reckon he'd changed that price since the Second World War) and he does it with a chat and a smile on his dial.
The only downside is, you gotta have the time to wait for your cut as he's usually pretty busy (especially around lunch time for obvious reasons). My tip is to take the paper, sit back, relax and watch the tragics with their losing lotto tickets pump more cash into an impossible dream.
The best bit is when he pulls out the straight razor to trim 'round your ears and get the bum fluff off your neck. It gives me a wee shiver every time. It's a shame the young bloke shows very little interest in the haircutting though, I'd hate to see this finish. read more
