    Default Helping to train new barbers

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this post, so mods please move it if necessary.
    I took advantage of the offer of a free shave yesterday, as a local hairdresser has an apprentice who needs the experience.
    What the heck, he cut my hair for free last week!!
    He is a first year and I was his first full face shave.
    Not that I'm an expert, as I've only been using a straight for about 9 months however, I figured that I have more experience than he does.
    The health and safety rules here only allow him to use a shavette, even if I bring my own in for him to use.
    Although it was not as BBS as I do for myself, it was still a DFS and I helped him with some tips that I use to help him learn his trade.
    The supervising hairdresser also chimed in with some advice as well.
    FWIW I feel that we should all try to pass on what we have learned to the younger generations.
    Maybe there are apprentices in your area that could benefit from your experience in straight shaving.
    Just a thought.
    I also steered him towards SRP to gain more knowledge in this facet of his chosen profession.
    Maybe he'll even try it on himself after seeing how much we enjoy the experience of a good straight shave.
    Cheers,
    Geoff
    PS It was my first straight shave from someone else too!!!
