Thanked: 9What would you give a barber?
My girlfriends cousin is a barber. She's a girl (the barber and girlfriend, smartass). She is one of the best barbers I have come across in my short 31 years.
She would like to start offering straight razor shaves, but must learn how to properly shave a man (and get the required licensing). So what would you give a barber to start them shaving? Here is my gift list, feel free to modify it: (by the way, she wants to use a traditional razor)
Dubl duck razor (wedge or hollow-ground?) Or disposable? What's best for a barber?
New Swaty to touch up razor every week or so...
Tony Miller practice strop until she is ready for a full 3" latigo with linen
Various aftershaves/balms/toners to try out.
hot towels
printouts of barber manuals on shaving, to supplement her own books
As a female, she will not be able to try shaving out on herself, I'll probably be the test subject while she is training...please pray for me.
Is there anything to add? I went for a haircut today and almost gave her the helj sitting in my car for practice...
