Best military haircut/fade in area

Submitted by Newguy617617 t3_zwbhgf in CambridgeMA

Looking to know where to find the best military barber in area. Willing to drive outside of Cambridge.

I’ve been to some of the more expensive places like Bostonian Barber but looking for some place cheaper since I get a haircut so regularly. Ideally uses straight razor and lather. Any suggestions? Thanks

Can ask the guys at Charlie's barbershop near porter square. They finish the haircut with a straight razor shave on your hair at the back of your neck

if it's a military cut I'm sure they're all the same

I’m sure Razors barbershop and shave on Cambridge street could do something. My hair isn’t far off from a military cut

They're not cheap like you'd hope for, but they finish with a straight razor and do not disappoint.

I find them excellent value. And they are always on time :)

Me too, absolutely, I think they're $30 for a cut (plus $5 for tip). It might be possible to find a straight up barber for cheaper to do his military cut.

Front Line of Fresh in West Medford can hook you up with a great high and tight or a military Mohawk haircut. Call them in advance. They are appt only.

Hit up George at Kendall Barbers. He's awesome and is ex Navy. 11/10 recommend. Great guy.

La Flamme in Harvard Square.

Temple of Groom on Mass Ave between Central & Harvard.

East Coast Barber Shop on Cambridge Street between 3rd and Sciarappa. $25 or $30 IIRC. Good for masculine haircuts. Can definitely deliver on this cut. I don’t think he uses straight razors often but know he can - call and ask- don’t mind his curtness on the phone, he’s busy cutting hair!

Dente’s in Davis. $40 for a regular cut but not sure if a simple cut like you’re looking for would be any cheaper - maybe not if it requires a straight razor bald fade finish etc.
