3. Barber strops the razor while the customer is relaxing with the towel.
4. Barber removes towel re-lathers the customer.
4. Barber gives customer the "Once-Over" or first pass.
5. If customer requests a "Close Shave" the barber lathers the customer and re-applies the warm towel.
6. Barber strops the razor again.
7. Barber removes towel and uses water from a bottle to moisten the face and gives the AXG and ATG passes.
8. Barber then gives short facial massage while applying after shave lotion.
Kinda makes you want to go in for a shave, doesn't it?? Too bad hardly anyone gives this treatment anymore. It's amazing what we lost in the last 40 years.
