Well, I just got my second haircut in my new location. I was a bit concerned about what kind of reception I would get in a conservative city an a conservative state. In some states barbers can refuse service to females (it's a different license) I don't know if it's true here, I just decided to give it a go and see what happened. I looked online, and found a couple of good prospects by reviews and one happened to be only a couple of blocks away. I figured to start close to home and if I got stink eye I had another to try up my sleeve.

What a great surprise. Johnny, the young guy that I'd read about didn't bat an eye and asked me the in normal barber speak what I wanted, added a couple of tips based on a look over of my growth pattern and did a great job. I usually get it blocked in the back and asked him instead to do a taper to try it out, I thought it might be easier than touching it up with a razor every few days. Bad idea on my part, it felt all weird on my collar. So today when I went back I decided to let the top grow a little more based on how well his cut was growing out and asked him to go ahead and re-block the back and burns. No only is he about the nicest guy you ever met but he is really careful and takes time to be a perfectionist. At the end he surprised me by doing a nice hot lather shave with a straight razor on the neck to make it just right.

I like this shop, it's quite plain, from I would guess the late 50's early 60's and pretty much original in equipment. They have these great original counter top vacuums for your head instead of just brushing and blowing about the little sharp cut bits. I've never seen them but it is great at making things 'no itch'. The older guy, maybe my age, might be an old closet queen though I can't quite decide yet.

Yeah, I think it's a keeper. A good sign of settling in is having a good comfortable barber shop around the corner.

It is cool to know that other butches go to barbers to get their hair cut. I only recently started going to a barber myself. I've always had short hair, but with the way I like it cut and styled, I thought a barber may understand better.

The first barbershop I went to was a little iffy. They didn't refuse me service or anything, but I got a weird vibe while I was there.

Tried a new place yesterday. Floyd's 99 Barbershop. They're actually a chain. But I really liked it.

Recently checked out Me Undies. I heard they make comfortable underwear. And I'm really picky about underwear.

Anyway, it's a cool site, with lots of choices. I especially liked all the variety of designs for trunks, which are hard to find in general let alone in fun patterns. I also thought it was cool they offer a subscription where you can get 1 (or more) new pairs in fun designs each month automatically.

Oh and I should mention they are comfortable too! Well made and a nice material. I ordered the surfboard ones and the lovestruck, which is the February design of the month.

I also got some cool socks. I figure if I have to dress up for work, might as well wear some fun stuff underneath. It's sort of my little secret (that I am now sharing with all of you).

Why is it such a turn-on, a butch woman in boxer shorts?

I'm dating someone and she was talking about taking her dog out early one morning and running into a neighbor in the elevator. "And there I was in my boxers and T shirt and flip-flops," she said, and I felt this little lurch on the attraction dial, in the right direction.

Why is that?

I tend to alternate between the hairdresser I have gone to for years, and a barber just down the street. The barber uses a straight razor on the back of my neck and gets it nice and close. I was a little worried the first time I went to him but never had any problems. More recent I have been loving button down shirts that have French cuffs so I can wear cufflinks I have a few pair and think they add a little something. But those shirts are not all that easy to find.
