    Default I wonder if this is still offered?

    A friend sent me this...

    https://training.gov.au/TrainingComp...IND305A_R1.pdf

    Anyone on here know that this course existed in Aus? I know in WA straight razors are banned in Salons (they have to use disposable blades), so maybe this course is only over a East where people still learn this trade?

    Hope this finds you all well!

    No real straights allowed Eastside either James.
    No idea if they still offer the course . Would be almost redundant now I guess.

    That's only a 2012 document, so it could be possible.
    There is a barber in Sydney that the bride saw a couple weeks back that give straight shaves and there is a franchise "Kazza's barbers" I think it was in Qld they opened a shop in Rockhampton about and hour odd from here that I want to try next time up there,
    but not sure if either uses straights or shavette's
    Also there is a barber in the Gold Coast that does wet shave's also don't know what they use yet
    Saved,
    to shave another day.

    I know here the therapeutic guidelines advise against using straight razors but they aren't banned.

    So we all know where to go to get shaved with a straight! I've tried to convince my wife to learn to shave me, but as you can imagine, I lost the argument.

    I saw one as part of a course in Melbourne, called up the tafe and they said it was part of a hairdresser course and I had to do the whole course to do that elective.

    What the????

    Then I discovered OZ, that made life a bit simpler.
    A good lather is half the shave.
