Gentlemen Jim’s At Purdy Barber

Jim runs a classic American barber shop. He will remember you even if you only come by a few times a year. Because of his location most of his customers are senior citizens (old coots like me) with enough younger clientele to keep him on his toes. He even carries a selection of hair treatments and colognes out of the 1920s that I haven’t seen in a barber shop since I was a kid. If you want a regular man’s haircut this is your place. His prices are very good ($ 12.50 for a men’s haircut). Not as cheap as the big chains, but Jim has been practicing his trade for about fifty years and knows what he is doing. Despite what you have heard here, JIM DOES NOT SELL FIREARMS. The only reason I don’t give him five stars is that I don’t give anybody five stars unless they save a life while I am at their shop or solves a major serial killer case.

This is a barber shop in a strip mall that also has firearms for sale. Nice! They also have the full range of Pinaud cologne and aftershaves — extra nice. Prices are not terrific but you need to support the locals. Note, where Unilocal!shows this on the map is totally wrong. Its at the base of the spit bridge in the parking lot across the street from the 76 station.
