I'm grasping for good gift ideas for the boyfriend - he LOVES straight razor shaves (guess that's how you word it)...but he's a college student and won't splurge on them. Anyone know of a good place/barbershop in the area? One that you would recommend?

I thought I read a write-up in the eagle not too long ago about a new barbershop in downtown Bryan, but none of the names that popped up in my Google search sounded familiar. And being a girl, I have no idea to these sorts of things, hahaa!

City Barbershop downtown. Knapp Cole.

There's a place just called "Barber shop" near the brown's shoe store in the lacks shopping center on Texas.

They used to at least shave the back of your neck and all that. Guys in there were good ol' boys, Aggies, Aggie paraphernalia everywhere. Old style place where people would just come in to talk even if they didn't need a haircut.

There was a barber at Southgate that would do it. Get him several though because I like them too, but you need to condition your skin to it.

I've been to the "Barber shop" near the brown's shoe store.

I go to Sonny's Barber Shop on Villa Maria across from HEB and have been really pleased with them.

Yes, Sonny is a great guy!

Isn't there a place on NG that does it? Upstairs above pita pit or something like that?

I haven't used it, just thinking out loud.

Yes. Jesse Medina at Aggieland Barber Shop, upstairs on Northgate above Pita Pit.
