MAN UP AT KENNEDY’S ALL-AMERICAN BARBER CLUB®!

What makes a man a man?

There are a lot of different opinions on that. Some would believe that taking on the entire Russian Army singlehandedly makes a man a man (see the end of “Rambo 2). Some would believe that taking on terrorists, the Chinese, the President of the United States and the incredible crapfest that passes for your personal life in the space of a day makes a man a man (see any season of “24″). Still others would say a man can only be truly a man when he learns to be sensitive enough to appreciate and love the dorky girl he’s working with (see any Matthew McConaughey romantic comedy).

(By the way, nobody who would pick that last option is actually a guy, but hey, we believe in providing all points of view.)

We at Kennedy’s All-American Barber Club® decided we needed to settle the masculine matter once and for all. So we decided to research the matter extensively and thoroughly in an ongoing strenuous effort to determine the effort.

Okay, okay, we’re lying. We just Googled “manliness.” We have a lot on our plate these days.

And what did we find? An entire website devoted to manliness here! Surely the ultimate answer would be here!

Well, it turns out they had a 30 day program devoted to achieving manliness. Yes, a whole month of tasks that turn you into the ultimate guy – awesome. And what was most awesome was the final thing you had to do to accomplish manliness.

And that final task – the thing you do on the 30th day – the mission that signifies completion in the Art of Manliness – is going to a barbershop to get a straight razor shave.

Don’t believe us? Check it out here.

All of us at Kennedy’s know that there’s nothing like a barbershop shave to make a man feel like a man. And, more importantly, to make a man feel good about being a man. When you examine some of the other things The Art of Manliness asks you to do in the 29 days leading up to the shave – shine your shoes, take the Marine Corps fitness test, write your own eulogy, and start a debt reduction plan, to name a few examples – they don’t exactly sound like fun. They sound more like work. You know – something requiring thought and effort.

Well, all the thought and effort that goes into getting a Kennedy’s signature straight razor shave is walking into one of our Barber Club locations, sitting down in an empty chair and relaxing. Then, when it’s over, as the Manliness blog states, “you’ll walk out of the barbershop feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and uber-manly.”

What guy could ask for anything more?
