      Thank you, thank you. As a bald barber, who's barber shop co-owner also shaves his head bald, it's odd you said that. Which I'd never heard. Not to brag on myself, because I don't think I'm great at much, but we're too of the best barbers I've known in 19 years of barbering. My partner is a beast, which is why he's my business partner. I couldn't have folks walkin' around with a bad-or even mediocre haircut and saying they got it at my shop.

    Line looked a bit crooked? Might just be his natural hairline tho. Enhancements weren't necessary for the beard he has great growth there.

      They stain the skin so you have to properly scrub them off with shampoo and if you shampoo before your cut, it could last for like 5 days
