Some barber I visited once told me that there was ONE place in GTA that used to give cut-throat shaves till quite recently - decades(?) ago...but they've since closed down. I don't remember when but a while back there were new laws put into place that requires some crazy expensive machinery for sanitizing cut-throats, so basically everyone switched to shavettes. Which is better than most other places where cut-throats are straight up banned for barber use (places like India where barber shaves are extremely common, def. use shavettes. My first shaves were in fact barber shaves with a shavette...but I digress). I really wish I could have that experience of a cut-throat barber shave, that would be awesome!
The funny thing is, I used to LOVE barber shaves, they were so much better than what I could do, even if they left me feeling razor burned sometimes (My skin no likey them feathers). Until I started shaving myself, now I just find the shave itself to be inadequate...but still do it at times for the whole experience (I REALLY need to buy one of those towel warmer machines).
They DO? Man, I wish my convos led that way...I'm like one of those parents who won't shut up about their kids, and attempts to lead every conversation that way...except instead of kids it's straight razors.
Are you sure he didn't miss a decimal point there? You DO mean 1.4 passes right. Cuz 14 is just, wtaf.
