Old School Male Grooming: Downtown Albuquerque

I'm certain this article won't appeal to those males who aspire to the prissy, metrosexual ideal of the modern man but for those of us who still have a bit of old school left in us I was made aware of ACE Barbershop in downtown Albuquerque. Located at 109 4th Street SW, ACE will put you in a chair, hot lather your face and then apply a hot towel. Once that has cooled down a bit, they will check to see that your stubble has softened and once it has they will break out a brand new straight razor and go to work on your face until you have a shave so close that no disposable can come close to achieving. Then they finish off with a cool towel and some after shave, all for $10.

Sounds pretty damn good to me.

That may not even be the whole story...I've never been (yet), but repeated peeks through the window reveal a fairly nice DJ turntable setup and some club lighting. Shave and a haircut + live remixes? Sounds good to me...

Just found your blog via UrbanABQ after reading your posts on DCF. Looks good - best wishes from a fellow imminent Burque relocator.
