I am a beard guy. I'm not a moustache man in the least.

However, I have a soft spot for classic man things, and a straight razor cut certainly gets my respect.

Enter Francis the Duke's Barber Co., a classic barber shop boasting "Full-Service Style Cuts" and "Beard and 'Stache Service." For $35, the Duke gave me my stache. It took wax and razors and scissors and cream and hot towels. Also, two beers from Philadelphia's own Yards Brewing Company.

Paulie says:: I can think of no better way to acquire the necessary tool for moustache may.

yourfavorite says:: I have similar sentiments. I'm not a moustache man by any means and I love my beard. I only rock a moustache for one month out of the year and I only do it to hang out with the other staches of mm. Good to see you sir.

justjamey says:: @danimal I was imagining him slitting my throat whenever he worked my neck. I realized that I am the benefit of our flawed criminal justice system, since a combination of common sense, decency, and fear of repercussions have probably kept many a man from a slit throat.
