Barbershop's while traveling

[PieErik]

El Garage Barber Shop (Medellin, Colombia)

When you travel frequently I can be difficult (airport security) to bring your favorite shaving equipment, so why not experience the local Barber Shop at you location.

Here are some pictures of my Barber experience in Medellin, Colombia. I decided to take my three Consultants out for a shave and dinner, after a successful completion of a project.

The Barber Shop I found is called “EL GARAGE BARBER SHOP”. The atmosphere of the Barber shop is a mix between Bike Bar, Garage and Barber, with some classic rock playing in the background.

About the Shave, it seems to be a different experience lever between the Barbers but in general they did an excellent job. The shave included, a brief pretreatment, lathering, hot towel, steam machine pointing at your face, more lathering, shave (the steam machine was on all the time), followed by a cleanup, cold towel (rubbing a big ice-cube on the towel while it’s on your face), post shave lotion and I got their in-house made beard oil for my goatee

NOTE: Not all barbers had Straight Razor, three of the four barbers were using Shavettes.

Overall experience was great and I like the fact that you have to walk through the bar/waiting room in order to get the barber. Would I come back to this place again, ABSOLUTELY!!!
