“I got a nice letter and card from ‘Doug and Tuesday’ at The Tonsorial Artist. If by any remote chance you are in the town of Norfolk, England- this looks like a lovely barber shop where you can get a lovely haircut, shampoo and shave, and so can your children! It’s nice to see such a creative new project in these more troubled times.”


10 Jun 2010
Last month I arrived in the lovely little village of Blakeney on the Norfolk coast for a week’s holiday. I had with me a small duffle, my laptop, a few books and a month’s growth of stiff, prickly, itchy beard that had crept up on me — long past the point where I could deal with it myself with my little travel kit. In a desperate move, I typed NORFOLK and BARBER into Google and was amazed to discover The Tonsorial Artist just four miles away. The next day I found myself relaxing in the lovely little shop under the careful hand of Tuesday. I think she was a little amazed that this beardy guy from L.A. had found his way to her chair in Holt. An hour later I left looking and feeling ten years younger. As good a wet shave as you’ll find anywhere in London. And such nice folks, making busy doing something really well. (And if you find yourself in Holt, be sure to check out fantastic OLD TOWN, just down the road. Beautiful made-to-order traditional clothes in amazing tweeds, moleskin & linen. Another little gem.

The traditional barbers pole represents ‘Blood and Bandages’. It originates from the grizzly days when barbers not only cut hair and shaved stubbly chins but also performed tooth extraction, bloodletting and some surgery. A traditional barbers pole has a brass finial representing the bleeding bowl. The bowl would have been kept at the top of the pole when not in use. The washed but still blood stained bandages were hung on the pole to dry. The wind whipped them around the pole giving us the red and white candy stripes we know today.
