A Shave at
Floyd’s
After trying
and failing to grow a beard I would want to see cover my face Decided easier to
go to a barber to obtain clean shaven look to put in place
Went to
Floyd's in Costa Mesa and was told it would be a near hour long wait
Fortunately
Harp's is next door with great food and Guinness to hunger and thirst sate
Went back
and had Jerry as my luck of the barber draw
Hit jackpot
and was with the shave totally awed
First the
electric clippers to shorten the stubble
Then hot
aromatic towel to soften the rubble
Then a razor
with a blade so very sharp
Wielded so
smoothly no nicks and cuts no need to summon Angels playing harps
About as
close and smooth as close and smooth could possibly be
Another hot
towel and from a shaggy appearance set free
Maybe
imagination as the hairs hit the floor
Some of my
years disappeared out the door
Well worth
the 32 dollars and tip
Nothing bets
a shave by a barber with a steady hand and grip
