Anyone can give you a shave...no law against it. As in "anybody can give you legal or medical advice". My wife does it all the time...
They just can't charge you for it, then they would be "practicing" without a license

A few months ago Bug was taught how to use a straight razor by a young male barber who worked at the shop. This young man was excellent with a blade and ably passed his skills on to Bug. Bug just turned 12, yet shows no fear when applying a razor to a man's face. As a matter of opinion, she has the lightest touch and the most fluid strokes of the razor that I have ever felt. And I've had a lot of barber shop shaves.

When I asked Bug and her mom if I could photograph and post Bug in action, Bug just couldn't see what the big deal was. I told her that she was one in a billion.

Her mom took pictures while Bug shaved me. I had a seven day growth. Bug used one of my OCD razors, 8/8 full hollow with a fresh killer edge. Bug started at the collar bone and shaved up, making just one against the grain pass with a few touch ups to get the swirls. The result: baby butt smooth. As I am writing this almost a full 18 hours later, I can just start to feel an even short stubble starting to re-emerge.

I'm sorry that I didn't get a picture of my finished face, but that is only a picture of me and nobody wants to see that.

Many thanks to Bug and her mom for making this possible.

I write this to give confidence to all those who are new the the world of Straight Razor Shaving. We were all newbies at one time. But with a little perserverence and a lot of luck, we plowed ahead to become adept at our passion.

So, if ever in the future, you get a little trembling in the hand when you place the straight to your throat

, just remember.........IT'S SO EASY, A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL CAN DO IT!!!!!

Thanks

Bug can do what I never tried until Age 54 and mastered until Age 56. That's quite a talented young lady!

Any Bug updates? Too bad if she's not a shaving specialist.
