The silvery clip of scissors. The scent of talcum and tonic. The game blaring on the radio. The lazy rhythms of friendly conversation. In Do Bald Men Get Half-Price Haircuts? Vince Staten perfectly captures the atmosphere of the classic barbershop and the special place it holds in the hearts of American men.
Staten visited more than three hundred barbershops, in towns ranging from Chowchilla, California, to Mount Airy, North Carolina. Displaying a great ear for dialogue, he re-creates the banter in a family-run Italian shop in Louisville, the relaxed jokes shared at an African-American barber's in a quiet neighborhood in Nashville, and the familiar conversations about local politics, the new baseball coach, and the meaning of life that make it clear why the barbershop is the communications hub of so many communities. In a wonderfully entertaining exploration of the history, secrets, and social contributions of barbershop culture, he provides answers to such pressing questions as: What's in those hair tonics anyway? Why are the stripes on the barber pole red and white? Why not a barbershop trio?
As in his earlier fascinating tours through the hardware store and the phar-macy, Staten combines a highly original sense of humor with a keen eye for telling detail. With Do Bald Men Get Half-Price Haircuts? he treats readers to an unusual, warmly nostalgic, and often hilarious tour of an enduring corner of American popular culture.

Very hydrating
Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I never liked foam cleaners, so I was afraid to try this one because it is a "cream-to-foam" cleanser. But it is not that foamy. I don't find it to foam at all actually. It lathers like a regular cleanser. I love it. I am slowly transitioning to all Remedy products. Trying one new thing every couple months until I have a complete Remedy routine that fits just for me!

Moisturizing !
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lathers great and I feel it gets all the makeup off without having to double wash again . Not really a scent but that’s fine . My skin is combination but this has kept me feeling moisturized in all areas of my face. Really have enjoyed this after wanting to try for so long .

Reminds Me Of...
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a good cleanser, except that it smells oddly much like the medicinal smell of pHisoDerm from your childhood. I personally prefer facial cleansers that aren't so medicinal smelling... Otherwise, effective, easy to use, and has a creamy texture.

Great everyday face wash
Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best cleanser I’ve ever used, takes my make up off on normal/dry/oily skin and no stripping or eye stinging. Live this larger pump size now and stocked up!
