Daddy Gets a Haircut

This morning we were en promenade when we happened to pass an open barber shop. Naomi's been bugging me for at least a week or two about getting a haircut, so in we went. This visit was notable for at least 3 reasons:
  1. I can barely communicate what kind of haircut I want when I'm in my native land, speaking in my native tongue. But somehow I got the message across in French.
  2. The barber used a straight razor, which is hardly new to me; but he used it without shaving cream or lotion, and that is new.
  3. The cost of the haircut was 5€ (about $6.40)! And keep in mind we're in a culture of not tipping in general.

It was actually a pretty decent haircut, big picture. As Naomi said, the barber was not a perfectionist, and a little touching up was required, but I'm still pretty happy with it.
