I recently found a great place, Saxony Barber Shop, in the Saxonville section of Framingham. Sounds very similar to Dente's; $14 for a cut, straight razor shaves, bay rum aftershave, etc, etc. One of the highlights of my move out to the suburbs.

He once cut hair in the Navy. He's a one chair shop, $12 a cut, straight shave, hot towel, aftershave, the works.<br /><br />I go every 3 weeks and always look forward to the chatter, insights and stories.

You're fortunate to have found such a traditional shop and that its barbers are still young(-ish).<br /><br />My barber shop is run by an 82-year-old barber and his baby brother, who's 80. Eighteen bucks for an excellent haircut. Sadly, they stopped shaving faces many years ago, but it's still a great place to get a proper haircut and to hang out with the local men. I particularly enjoy being able to take my son with me, but I wonder where I will go when my barbers either retire or pass on. Nobody else around here can cut hair worth beans!<br />Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-77196397047452312922013-09-26T16:52:37.920-07:002013-09-26T16:52:37.920-07:00Looks like a nice place.

It's kitted out simply, like a shop from around the '50s; with a jukebox too.<br /><br />Cutting hair is always necessary so he makes a living - sort of - but it requires he puts in some hours with the reasonable prices he charges.<br /><br />Sadly I thinned out years ago and can even enjoy the free haircuts I might get when I visit him...boo hoo.Roger v.d.

For sure no selvedge denim and ironic mustaches there and about a year or so ago, my man Tony actually LOWERED the price of a hair cut.<br /><br />Though when I lived in Boston I would go to Firicano's in the North End to get cleaned up. I lived in East Boston so that was the first stop on the subway for me. I always thought they gave a decent haircut, although a bit in the "Everett" style for my New York tastes.randallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-50414027690379776402013-09-26T11:16:07.656-07:002013-09-26T11:16:07.656-07:00My kind of place.

It was right after they'd opened in the morning and there were already three or four people waiting ahead of me, and on that particular day I couldn't wait around. But it's good to know they are still thriving.<br /><br />I go to M. James, which is down at the base of Winter Hill on Temple St., just around the corner from Broadway. I used to live near there and have been getting my hair cut there for about a decade. It's only $19, which isn't much more than Dente's charges (though when I started going it was only $12). It's a local type of place with no attitude.Some Assembly Requiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591764462882988675noreply@blogger.com
