The number of voters weren't exactly enough to rival American Idol, but those that cared to cast their votes for the best barbershop in town, and the winner is Carl's Barbershop with 12 votes.

Runnerup MVP Barbershop got 10 votes. "Other" also got ten votes, but only one of those votes - by Dick Duncan touting Martinez Barbershop on Ferry Street - enlightened us as to other establishments we may have missed.

Thanks to all who voted. And congratulations to Carl!
