Thread: How to shave others without a barber chair?

I have been developing my hot lather shaving techniques, and I was wondering whether I could give a gift of a nice shave to friends, relatives, etc. I don't really know how to go about practicing, but I guess the first obstacle is setting up some kind of seating without having to buy a barber chair. Anyone have any experience starting out this kind of thing?

Friends do not PRACTICE SR shaving on other friends or relatives,your call tho have fun

I'm still at the safety razor stage. No worries on the straight-razor side yet.

You could suspend them from the ceiling with rope. Just add more to what you have them tied up with and throw it over a beam. :<0)
If you really want to give shaves .... go to school and do it for a living. A friend of mine did just that. Not the rope thing.

Get a normal chair, make up a headrest, fix on the headrest. Maybe a car seat might work as you would have all the back adjustments.

No matter how you do it easy it ain't. If you have a bad back forget it.

I have done it a number of times,
I use my high back executive computer chair,
it reclines back far enough,
goes to a comfortable working height,
and swivels so I don't have to do to much maneuvering around them.

It is different than doing yourself so be forewarned, effective stretching is easier to figure out though.
