I thought an expert was someone who made six consecutive correct guesses.

I got word back from the journalist. He told me that he had gone forth on the opinion of 2 experts, but that he now knew (because of me) that shaving with a straight is possible.
I had the vague impression that it was just a 'yeah whatever' reply that he probably has in stock for every time he gets contacted by a nutter.
But my mail wa spolite, so who knows... maybe he'll at least remember if he ever gets to do something shaving related.
Nothing from the barbership so far.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

What a pile of nonsense.
My Grandfather was a reputed barber in Glasgow all his working life quite well known by local celebrity.
I know for a fact he always shaved himself with a straight

An interesting thing...my nephew and father both had straight shaves recently...both thought that they got the full treatment...both "experienced" an old time shave stropping included....nope it was just in their minds as the barber used a shavette!

What part of Glasgow? My mother-in-law was from Glasgow, we have quite a few relatives still there. Originally Posted by JoeyGargano

My Grandparents lived in Springburn in Ballonock, but I'm no sure which part of town he worked, can find out though. There's a guy called Gordon Smith known as the psychic barber (distant relative) who was trained by grand pop, not sure he can give straight shaves though?

Yeah, health regulations pretty much force people to use shavettes.
Using real straights brings a lot of pain with it in many countries.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
