It’s impossible to get that wrong. Used to get a 2 on the sides and back when going to a barber but I ain’t trying that blending lark. Will go with a 4 or 5 all over next time. And definitely won’t be going back to a barber ever again tbh. Complete waste of money. I wonder how many will go out of business. It used to be a fiver for a cut but it’s not uncommon now to have to pay a tenner or more which is pure daylight robbery!

C’mere I know it won’t suit the younger lads who spend more time in the bathroom than girls do grooming every strand of hair on their head but for old fogeys like me who just get a 4, 5 or 6 blade all over a trip to the barber is just a waste of money.

nthclare wrote: » Ralph Lauren is the epitome of someone who has zero class, talk's through their arse and probably dresses like the local parish priest in his civvies..... The cheapest shoite and pure middle class wannabe toffs... Bellstaff or Barbour now there's class, and nothing wrong with a penny's Polo shirt either... I know people who own country estates and they wear penny's t-shirts etc.. Sounds ironic,but billionaire's can afford to dress like someone who the likes of your post distinguishes between the classes...
