I've thought about how this could be done. Basically, the barbershop would be a "men's club", maybe with cigars too!

Each member would have his own locker and shave kit. Maybe Dovo Tortoise and Tony Miller strop for all, so the barber would be using consistent equipment. No risk of contamination because you are ther only one using your razor and strop.

This would only work in a fairly major metropolitan area with enough clients, but I think there is growing interest.

There ARE barbers around with the skills. My barber at the local mall is a 60 year old Italian-trained barber who used to shave 25 men every Saturday in his town back in Italy.

Sure would love to get a shave from him, but alas no shaves at the mall!
