Any good old fashioned barbershops with an old time hot towel straight shave? I'll settle for a hipster type place but I really want a rustic, authentic setting.

I second that motion!
For tradition you just can't do much better than Truefitt & Hill.Those are retailers for gear. Do they have a barber shop where I can get a traditional hot towel, wet shave? I need to entertain myself while the wife is shopping.
I'll probably stop by and look around but I have to restrain myself.
I am sure I would enjoy a shave if I could find someone who generates lather from a top tier shaving soap and applies it using a nice shaving brush and gives a close, comfortable shave with a well honed and stropped traditional straight razor...wait a minute....that is exactly happens each time I shave at home. I need look no further than my own shave den.
Maybe you shouldn't go to Q Brothers then. I spent over $200 when I went there. It's a real traditional shaving mecca.but I have to restrain myself.

Ahhh.... I'm sure your den and technique are nice but you might be surprised how nice a traditional barber shop visit can be...
...A good visit is easily worth the $$$.
