Thank you for all warm welcome messages and for your kindness. I would be happy if I can make some contribution to forum and learn as much as I can.
I wish I can post good traditional pictures from my country but it is so difficult because every shop is full of foams gels and disposable cartridge razors. We only have Arko soap and creams and couple of other small brands that is all but I will try

Welcome! It would be wonderful to see pictures from inside a traditional Turkish barber-shop. There are vids on Youtube, but seeing things from your perspective would be really unique. I have thought about doing the same here in Athens, but traditional barber-shops are only just making a comeback. They are few and far between and difficult to locate if you don't know where to look. In any case, I can only imagine that Istanbul, given its geographical location and history as a cultural cross-roads, must have a storied background in the world of wet-shaving!
Best of luck with your shaves.

Thanked: 4822Welcome. Having a well honed razor is key. If you have been lurking you know where to find answers and to ask about anything you cannot find. Smooth shaving!

Welcome! You could make extra money shipping Arko to the US. It goes for about $2 or $3 per stick here.
Just call me Harold
