Thread: I got a job offer from my barber!

He can have a regular razor and the 12/8. Then offer varying levels of shave.

Services provided:

Once over with a normal razor

Close and smooth with 2 passes of a normal razor

Touchless shave special with the 12/8 (touchless because the whisker will jump of the face in fear)

You may also run into health code problems that require either a replaceable blade or sterilization.

Even if you can't do it because of licensing or health code reasons, that is still really cool and quite the compliment. Plus, you get a chance to show off your skills to an expert. Very cool indeed.

Matt

Cool idea...now if it was only legal.

More guys would maybe use a str8 if more barbers -- who are actually licensed to shave others -- would offer str8 razor shaves in their shops and at an affordable price.

This is cool. Let us know how it goes.

I'd be willing to bet the tip jar would be full.

Wouldn't touch it without a barber's license. Think about the possibility of some joker claiming you gave him a scar, and sued.

Seems like these days you need a permit to go to take a leak . What have we come to... so who what does if matter if you get a little scar or need a tetanus shot.
Good luck with the shave..

I do need to be licensed, but they are stating that I could work as a student under a barber for the same rate of pay because I have so much experience and then after the mandatory number of hours I would receive a license. I do get the feeling they are sort of bending the rules, and I really dont think I would do it either way, I just dont know if I have the time, I am also a bit nervous about shaving someone with the disposable blades, its much different I would asume than a heavy less sharp steel blade.

My barber says that for health code reasons he cant shave me with a real straight razor of theirs, BUT he will shave me with one of my razors if I want him too. I havent taken hip up on the offer yet though.
