First Barber Straight Shave!!!!

I got my first straigt shave from a barber today. It was nice and relaxing. The barber is a young guy that owns a Barber/Tattoo shop. It quite a unique place. The shave was 2 passes and then a touch up pass. All 3 began with a hot towl face wrap. The razor was a full sized looking straight that uses disposable blades. The barber was friendly and I would go back again. The shave was a bit costly at $15 but it is the only one in town, and the only for quite some radius from town I am sure. It was worth it. The shave was finished with some Bay rum aftershave and a towl wrapped hand with powder that was nicely applied to the face.

I just told my dad (i'm 23) and he laughed at me and freaked that someone else shaved me. I told him I will take him someday and he laughed. Some people just don't understand.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Thats a very reasonable price, congrats. The point is to enjoy the event.

Your first barber shave is kind of like your first, never mind. It makes you feel like a real man kind of like, never mind. Money is no object just like, never mind.:D :D :D


PS Glad you enjoyed it. It was what put me on the road to str8 shaving.

Rich, if I'm reading between the lines, what you are saying is that you rate a good professional shave right up there with marriage and your first bicycle?

RT :cool:

Randy,


True, True:D

I usually get one a year. $15 isn't a bad price. My barber does two passes with a touch-up pass, as well. The shave usually lasts about 2, 2 1/2 days before I have to shave again.

I hope you enjoyed your experience!!

Ya, I am down to about once a year also....OOPS! we are talking about shaving here aren't we?:D

That's too funny!

Yes, we're talking about shaving. I'm not quite sure that's what Rich was talking about, though...LOL
