Checked out a new barbershop in Portland and their station setup was totally different from mine.

They had these low, wide mirrors and no visible product shelves, which made the whole space feel super open, but I'm not sure where they kept their clipper oil and neck strips.

My friend told me to always use a scale for my sourdough starter, and I finally listened after a year of flat loaves.

Forget the starter for a second. Did you start weighing your final dough ingredients too, or just the starter feed? My flat loaves were always from messing up the main dough hydration by using cups.
