    I love getting it done. There are a few places in town that I would recomend over others.

    Retro on Denmark Street is really good, ask for the owner to do it, he is top notch.

    Pat Stapleton On O'Connell Street across from Empire Music is very good at it too, expect no frills or fancy waiting rooms, just a damn good shave and really cheap, and depending on his humour you may get a few tales also. Plus he can do it with a old style cut throat blade or a regular blade.


    One whose name escapes me but I tried him last month by accident is the barber to the right of the Shell station in Thomondgate. I was carrying a face full of heavy stubble and pulled in there on a whim. Really nice guy and a damn good shave. Shame he is an Arsenal fan. :D

    I have gotten hot towel and shaves in about five other barbers in Limerick over the years, but those three stood out for me, in terms of quality. Too many just give a rushed shave and take no effort in what they do.

    Would I need to book an appointment for Pat Stapelton?

    I never booked with him, just strolled in off the street like a stubbly waif, before emerging as a slick stubble free zone.

    Just head up the stairs and go to the waiting room, and wait for him to call you.

    That might have been Pat, he ownes the place, I got a shave off him before (it was his first time doing it!) not a bad job for a first timer. How much does Pat Stapleton charge for a shave?
