Before I lost my hair, I'd been going to T&H for about 30 years. I still remember going with my grandfather in the 1980s to their Old Bond Street address, then Grafton Street, before they moved to St James's. First it was Wendy who did my hair, then mainly Ola. Michael too sometimes, and even Mr Dennis would have a go every so often (when he could stand cutting it as short as I liked it as a student!), and there was always the friendly face of Mr James clearing up my bright red hair. A lovely little oasis of calm, and a fond memory. I recently found some big old T&H glass jars (presumably once for storing or disinfecting equipment?) in an antiques shop in Morayshire, and these are now part of my bathroom!

MY challenge these days is finding a quality barber to deal with my decidedly thin hair. It looks its best very short. Of course, it is the details around the edges that count the most. Then their are an old man's bushy eyebrows and the extraneous hairs that pop out of the ears and so on.

As many trips to this marvelous barber shop as I could manage - all the while chauffeured back and forth in a classic Rolls Royce or Daimler and dining at all of the classic spots. Always loved the classic British gentleman's style and manner - still do. Great post!

I like to get a shave and haircut when I go on vacation. A couple of years ago, I went to Taylors of Old Bond Street. It was...disappointing. Not really the barber's fault, but the shop set up felt like an afterthought rather than a proper barbershop. Just a tiny room towards the back with lots of staff foot traffic going back and forth. Last year, I went to T&H. Much, much better experience from beginning to end. Lovely shop. Outstanding shave and haircut. Next month, I'm back in London and have lined up an appointment with Geo F Trumper at their St James shop. Can't wait!

Great work and it is nice to see that we finally have an Englishman to promote the British heritage brands. Hopefully this will attract a more dignified crowd to these locations. While I also admire the work which Kirby Allison also does, it is an unfortunate tragedy that it attracts an obnoxious crowd of American tourists to these locations! Specially at Franco's!!!
