I'm currently in Fort Walton Beach,FL for the summer. I did some looking around and finally found a place that does a hot shave. So I set up an appointment and went in this morning for it. (I was supposed to get my head shaved and my face).

So I go in and the barber gets out an electric razor and starts shaving my head. I thought it was kinda weird, but it's been years since I've had a straight razor shave. (And I remember them fondly, which is part of why I want to learn how to do it myself) I figured that maybe it was a little long and then he'd go back over it and do a proper hot shave... He got done with the razor and asked for payment. Long story short, he thought that when I was talking about a hot shave he thought I was just talking about a shave using an electric razor. He had never even used a straight edge before. Needless to say I was pissed off, especially since I talked about over the phone what I wanted.

...so... If you go to a new place, always triple check that everyone is on the same page.
