Neck Shave in Downtown Minneapolis

[barzen]

Can anyone recommend a barber in downtown Minneapolis? I'll be in town this weekend for a wedding Sat. night, and was hoping to find a good barber nearby to get a neck shave that afternoon. Winston's barber shop seems to have recieved good reviews (http://www.yelp.com/biz/winstons-bar...p-minneapolis). Any thoughts?

I've never been to Winston's, but I've been sufficiently impressed by their shops when passing by that I'd probably start there for a neck shave.

In addition to Uptown, there is also a downtown location right on the 2nd floor of Macy's. Let us know how it goes!

I go here every two weeks. Give Brian a call as he is usually more open: http://www.barbersonbryant.com/ Edit: This is in uptown which is close to downtown (3-4 miles). I live downtown and still go here.

I ended up at the Winston's downtown on the second floor of Macy's. Although the price was only $5, I can't say I recommend this place for a neck shave (at least the guy who helped me). He only shaved in one direction, then mumbled something about how he didn't dare go against the grain. This resulted in a somewhat rough shave. Also, he used aftershave that burned (presumably from the alcohol) which I've heard can actually demoisturize your face. Overall, the experience was a little disappointing, and didn't live up to my first straight razor neck shave I got at a place on Queen Anne hill in Seattle. But, good to know for the future!
