These guys are awesome! 4 cuts later and each one is money! Great attention to detail and a smooth straight blade neck shave to finish off each cut.

Came here because of the Unilocal reviews and was disappointed. Not that the place is really deeply bad, but even between barbers I’ve seen places way better. I walked in and waited for some time, than one of the barbers finished working with his client, pointed to some of us waiting and asked if he’s going with him? «I’d wait for Mike(name changed)» mumbled the client… Finger pointed to another one waiting — you?! «I think I’d better wait for Mike, too…» I raised my hand and said«ok let’s go». Simply because I didn’t know Mike and was bored waiting. My barber, still visibly annoyed, spent about ten minutes working on my head. Nothing special — plain and common barber job. Just cut away everything that sticks around, making the hair follow the shape of your head, getting thinner in the lower part. Some of them are better at that, other not so — «my» barber was a-ok. And then came the bill — $ 20 without tip. You know, those barbers in Toronto sometimes actually offer you coffee or beer. And have a TV. And music. And all that for like 8 – 10, maybe 12 bucks. Is that too much to ask, eh?

What exactly do you want in a barbershop? That’s the key question for those of us men who don’t want to spend salon prices but don’t want the mullet look either. A barbershop can be as simple as a chair in a mini-mall or Superstore or as complex as a ‘sports’ barber where it can feel more like sports bar than anything else. Barbers can range from old men who natter away about old men topics to young guys who all seem to be in their early 20’s and moments away from stepping into a nightclub. Some barbers offer shaving services with an old fashioned straight edge blade that reminds me of my grandfather in the old county. I can’t speak for anyone else but what I look for in a barber, after their skills with scissors /clippers, is their ability to make me laugh. When someone is holding a sharp implement inches away from your head the last thing you want is them making unnecessary movements but I find funny stories help make the time go by faster. Why worry about grey hair when your barber is telling you about the guy in the chair over who went to a wedding last night and barely made it back alive. Why worry about creeping baldness when you could be laughing at the friendly insults everyone tosses at the boss who more than returns with his own. Why worry about the fact that the hair on sides of your head grows twice as fast as the rest resulting in clown hair when you can watch people play wastebasket basketball using hair dryers. The quality of haircut varies from barber to barber but I’ve always liked what my hair looked like after visiting. The barbers are fun, friendly and always willing to entertain. Price is reasonable and during the busy time the wait has never been longer than 20 minutes. Everyone is looking for something different in a barber. I find what I’m looking for at Razor’s Edge. A haircut, a joke and a lollipop that I steal from the ones set out for kids. Throw in a comfortable couch and a few magazines from this year and it’s easy to recommend trying out the barbers at Razor’s Edge.
