Professional Barbers in the Monterey/Carmel Area?

[adub1010]

Hey guys, I'm getting married in Carmel at the end of this summer and I was looking to bring in two barbers to shave myself and my 6 groomsmen before the event. I have had a surprisingly hard time finding someone to do it (and finding any reviews for potentials). I was hoping you all might have some recommendation? I'm getting married at the Carmel Valley Ranch, so any Barbers in the area willing to make the drive would be great...

Thanks!

Welcome to B&B!

You might want to audition those shaves in advance. Suppose the barber is no good?

Outstanding idea btw. Good luck and congrats on the wedding

I was kind of hoping to crowdsource the auditions. Based on what I've read so far, if any one place has a quality discerning shave crowd, it's B&B. I guess I'll need to see what kind of responses I get.

Barbershop shaves are a dying art - odds are at best you'll get a 'meh' shave, at worst torn up.
Might be better to have that shave a week before the wedding? You don't want your face to be in bad shape on your big day.

i know of a barber in san luis obispo who does hot shaves, not sure if he'd be willing to make the two hour drive up there, but I could ask for you (I've never gotten a shave from him so I don't know how good he is or what he uses)

Thanks for the offer, but I think I've found someone in the area. Going to head down this weekend for a trial run. Wish me luck!
