The idyllic, old-school barbershop may have faded from society today, but there are still communities for which the local shop is a cornerstone of daily life.
Fletchers Hair Design in Toledo has teamed up with a local Insurance Agency to not only offer reduced-price haircuts for kids going back to school, but to give away free book bags to the first 100 customers as well. It’s a great way to reach out to the community, the way we remember barbershops doing in the past.
Entourage is now well into the seventh season, a season that really has to deliver to help erase the memory of season five (yeah, six was back to the show we know and love, but five was pretty bad). When you’re looking for a little Ari & Co. between episodes, be sure to check out the Entourage blog at Bullz-Eye.com.
Week by week we offer breakdowns on the most current episodes, along with editorial about the direction of the season and whatever ridiculous thing Turtle has started. This past week’s visit from Sasha Grey deserved more than just cursory attention:
Sasha may be classier than she looks, but Drama and Scotty Lavin most certainly are not, launching into a discussion about anal sex that results in Eric confessing he’s never tried it. Scotty claims that Eric needs to do it at least once before he gets married, and Drama agrees (“You kidding? Vagina’s my third favorite hole.”), but when Eric mentions the idea to Sloan, she reminds him that they did try it once… unsuccessfully. That didn’t stop them from trying again, however, but just as Eric suspected, he likes her vagina. It was a rare comedic twist in the relationship that was sorely needed, because up until now, the writers have made Eric’s decision to marry Sloan seem like a bad thing. And if you’ve seen her recently (or heard the actress that plays her talk about all of her awesome qualities in that promo HBO has been airing recently), then you know that it’s not.
Stubble may be in style for some, but a lot of us like to have a nice, clean shave each and every day. There are loads of products dedicated to the shaving experience, but how many actually reduce stubble growth to make that shave easier with each passing day? Not many. There is one, though, that stands out among the rest: Bluebeard’s Revenge.
Our guys at Bullz-Eye got a chance to review Bluebeard’s Revenge. Here’s what they thought:
When applying the shaving cream I noticed a subtle soapy smell that made me feel like I was cleaning my face as well. It was easy to apply and the shaves I experienced were smooth and clean. The big claim by Bluebeard’s Revenge is after a month of steady use your beard will slow it’s growth because of a novel topical compound called Decelerine in the shaving cream. I’m not here to tell you whether or not that claim is true but I feel the smooth shave alone is enough to support this product.

When you want the old-fashioned barber shop experience, look no further than Durden’s Barber Shop in Augusta, Georgia. The shop has been with owner Tim Durden’s family ever since Tim’s father opened 53 years ago.
Even though the shop is off the beaten path, it has remained successful because of its longtime reputation in the community, Durden said.
“It’s a fun business. The people who have been coming here for years, they’re like your extended family,” he said.
Durden follows several principles to run the business.
“I think having a good attitude and treating people the way you want to be treated are the basic business philosophy,” Durden said.
He also believes in customer service. He’s a one-man show, so he sends a mass e-mail to his customers whenever he plans to be out of the shop, he said.
If you’re ever in Georgia and in need of a haircut, be sure to look up Tim Durden.
The new season of ‘Mad Men’ is underway, throwing us all back into the world of Don Draper and the hay day of advertising. When you need to get your fix in between episodes, you can get the latest news, reviews and interviews from the cast and crew of AMC’s hit show.
From the main page:
When 2007 kicked off, AMC was a network best known for the fact that it had, after putting Halle Berry’s “Catwoman” into its screening rotation, given up all pretense that the letters in its name still stood for “American Movie Classics.” Before the end of the year, however, people had stopped talking about AMC’s movies and started buzzing about its original programming, thanks to the unexpected success of a new hour-long drama about – of all things – an ad agency during the 1960s. Given that the show’s creator, Matthew Weiner, had arrived from a stint on HBO’s “The Sopranos,” nobody was really surprised that it was good. But there’s good, and then there’s “Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series” good, and you’d damned well better believe that “Mad Men” falls into the latter category.
