Thread: Interesting "hold" on this barber shave

[QUOTE=UKRob;1364155]Are they actually outlawed or is it just a case that disposables are the easy option? In the UK, my barber tidies up the neck area with a shavette then puts the blade part in barbicide ready for the next customer. Seems to me that there is no difference if you were using a straight.

I've been told the whole outlawed thing is something that some barber shops say, when they don't want to use a straight. I haven't done any research, so I can't say one way or the other with any certainty.

I had a trim at my local barber last week and he cleans up the back of my neck with a straight. don't think I would like a used brush slapped around my face! you would think the price some of them shave shops charge, they would give you the brush!

Did he use a str8, or a replaceable blade?

oh and yes, od way to hold a straight!
