    Best place in Dubuque for gentlemen to get a haircut. Great conversation, close shave, Great cut all for only $11. If you have sensitive skin, the shave will leave you with sore marks but that is with any straight blade shave.

    Go here. Get a cut. Talk some shop. You can get a tight fade or a gentrified shave but you’ll be missing out on an experience that’s rare these days. With his generous pricing you can WALK IN and walk out feeling, feel sharp, strong and confident knowing some Sally didn’t cut your hair. Bring cash. Tip the man.
