Our Story
Old Blade opened its doors in 1987 when master barber Ray Callahan left the old country with one simple conviction: a great haircut changes how a man carries himself.
Three generations later, we still do it the same way — sharp blades, clean razors, a hot towel, and time. No screens on the walls. No music too loud to talk over. Just the craft.
We've cut hair for lawyers, plumbers, grandfathers, and their grandsons. Come in once and you'll understand why regulars have been coming every two weeks for twenty years.
What We Do
Scissors or clipper cut styled to your preference. Includes a neck shave and warm towel finish.
A full straight-razor shave with hot towels, pre-shave oil, and a soothing post-shave balm. A true ritual.
The works — our full cut followed by a hot towel straight-razor shave. The definitive gentleman's treatment.
Precision beard shaping with a sharp outline and clean edges. Includes beard oil conditioning.
For the young gentlemen under 12. Patient, careful, fun. We've been making kids look sharp for 37 years.
For regulars 65 and up. Same great cut, same great care, with a little extra appreciation for the ones who've been coming longest.
The Shop
The Craftsmen
Founder · Master Barber
37 years behind the chair. Still the first one in and the last one out. Ask him about the pompadour years.
Master Barber
Trained in Chicago, settled here 12 years ago. Specializes in tapers and fades. Plays chess between appointments.
Barber
Ray's son. Grew up sweeping hair off this floor. Now cuts cleaner than anyone in the city. The next chapter.
What They Say
I've been coming to Ray for 22 years. I moved across town and still make the drive. Nothing else comes close.
My son was terrified of haircuts. Danny had him laughing in two minutes and asking to come back before we even left.
The hot towel shave alone is worth the trip. I scheduled it before a big job interview. Got the job. Coincidence? Doubt it.
