Awesome post. Is it typical for a barber to start ATG? I once went into AOS for a straight shave and they charge by the pass - I had just assumed it was always WTG then ATG and never thought of trying ATG first.

That....is just wrong. I believe they also charge $60 for their "Royal Shave."

Yeah it's around there. When I went, their 'barber' wasn't trained on straights and they wanted to charge me $30 per pass with a Gillette Fusion... I went home and spent that money on a new brush

What's the point of that! Any moron can use a cartridge razor. If I went to a barber for a shave I would want something a little bit special, and that would be a proper shave using a cut-throat razor. Yeah I know I can do that myself at home these days as well, but I would also pay someone to do it for me every once-in-a-while too. I wouldn't pay anybody to shave me with anything else though, and certainly not $30.

If you do get her trained up, make sure you check the calendar before you let her shave you.

No no no.

I'd just like to simply say: Thanks for sharing! To find someone to shave you is cool, but to find a young person who has the skills to shave someone is simply "art".

Well, you gotta figure that the blades for the fusion cost about $5 each and if you're like me they were only good for two, maybe three one pass shaves...

I'd pay $30 for an amazing, BBS, razor burn, nick free straight shave. I get those every now and then but it certainly isn't a daily occurrence. I can do BBS but it usually involves some skin thinning and weepers...

I’m impressed. Good job.
