SAMPLER GETS GROOMED continued from 44
insist on hitting every shop in town— there’ s a lot of them! They should just come on over for a trim and maybe a nice shave— kill some time the old fashioned way.
Also, local men can realize the convenience of an accessible barber, schedule a regular mid-week appointment( between-cut neck shaves are free), make a new friend, and spend styling dollars in the county.
Thirdly— and this is the one I liked a lot— how about a bachelor party where the groomsmen get groomed?
“ A lot of people are here for weddings, and we do bachelor parties. Have the guys and their families all come in and get shaves and haircuts, and make a fun time of it,” Buhneing said.
I asked the barber if he got much call these days for an old-fashioned straight-razor shave such as we are more accustomed to see in movies.
“ I don’ t do a ton of them, but I have a couple of local guys that come in every week,” he said.“ And I get random people, I probably do, on average, five a week or so. A lot of people don’ t even know about them, and have never had one.”“ It’ s a good experience.” Classic haircuts, straight razor shaves, and 100 percent natural locally-made grooming products are all to be had at Buhneing’ s Vintage Barber Shop. It is currently at 179 North Van Buren Street in Nashville but Josh bought some property in downtown Nashville and will be moving his shop soon to that location. You can keep posted by calling( 812) 200-3126 and visiting < www. TheNashvilleBarber. com >. You can also find him on Facebook at Buhneing’ s Vintage Barber Shop.
I emerged into the warm afternoon air, sunlight dappling down on my face, a breeze blowing across my newly naked neck. I sauntered down the street with a new spring in my gait and a big smile across my face.
And I was profoundly satisfied.•
