Best. Barbershop. Ever.

Backstory: About ~~ten~~ fifteen years ago when I was doing my flight training in Guelph, I got what was far and away the best haircut of my life. Four barbers, none of whom seemed to speak english very well, and there wasn't an electric razor in sight. It wsa straight edges and eather straps. Pretty frickin' cool when all your used to is your standard run-of-the-mill cheapo unisex hair salon.

1.5 years ago: When I started working in Guelph, I needed a barber in town. But I couldn't even begin to remember where this awesome barbershop was or even what it was called.

Last week: I was at the Tim Horton's on Woolwhich street in downtown-ish Guelph. I looked up (and across the street) and lo-and-behold, there it was. Franco's Barber Shop.

Monday: I got the second-best haircut of my life at Franco's. Things have changed little in ten years. My guy used an electric razor, but I'm not so disappointed in that. Basically, this is the best barber shop I've ever been to - sorry Sean & Danny. If I still lived in Waterloo, I'd be torn between Sean's and Franco's - but since Sean's is not convenient anymore, Franco's is the clear winner.

Just in case anyone cares about where I get my haircut. :)
