Razors Edge

Lou Piniella’s brother Joe cut my hair. That should be enough for you to check out this classic barber shop.
I was in town for a minute and needed a trim. I was directed by a friend, 2 family members, and the manager of a dry cleaning store to go to The Razor’s Edge…“a true barber shop.” It is every bit of that. Old plastic upholstered furniture, a variety of men’s interest magazines, TV Land on the small tube with «Three’s Company» on, that whiff of Barbicide, and that weird Pinaud stuff.
If I were 200 pounds lighter, I would have jumped right in the prop airplane positioned in front of the mirror for children to sit in.
I walked in and the baby booming barber and his charge in the chair were arguing whether Santana or Eric Clapton was the better guitarist. When I got in the chair, the conversation moved to baseball. I was just pulling names from the 1950s and 1960s, and nodding whenever Joe made a claim about the greatness of one player or another… he had scissors all around my head.
I loved my experience and will go again when in Tampa simply to step back in time.
Oh yeah… I got a great trim for $ 10.

Been going there for about 15 years. Love them, lisa dies an awesome job, love conversations with Jerry and Joe is a character. Great homie place.

Well, looks like I’m the first one to review this place. Here goes… Let’s forget for a moment that the furniture in the waiting area is disgusting… I swear to god 2 of the chairs in there look like they were found in a sewer… Let’s get on with it… They could not break a 100.00 bill so I ran to the gas station and came back… Mistake #1 was coming back. I think I would have been better off if the lady had cut my hair but I got stuck with the older man with poor breath or some kind of foul smell. Did I mention I’m bald, and I just wanted them to buzz down my hair to a stubble and maybe get a shave… I thought because of the name (Razors Edge) they would actually have a razor… ummm, Wrong. So I told him what I wanted and he used his clippers buzzing down my hair like I wanted, he also used it on my beard and neck but missed a large strip on the top of my head where all the lil hairs popped up all the way back and missed half my face… Being that I’m balding and have very little hair I thought this was going to be a no brainier. I left with hair clippings all over my neck and shirt… I even gave him a 5.00 tip…(that’s before I noticed what a shit job he did on me)…I was so mad I just went to Walgreens and got a razor and did it myself later… Waste of money /​Disgusting place… I will NEVER return… If you want to look like Helen Keller did your hair, have a go at this place…
