Sure... gimme the $30 and you can shave me topless... ;-)

I can see where this would maybe be interesting if you can buy giftvouchers...

You know those folks where you need to buy a gift, and dont want to be cheap... but cannot think of anything so you end up splashing $50 on something noone can ever use... Flowers, fruit, tickets to something you dont even know if they like...

There I can see a gift certificate for a shave may be a better option....

On a recent trip to Chicago my wife and I stopped at Truefitt and Hill. I thought I would get a shave while I was there until I saw the price. $60 for a shave. I'm sorry I don't care how much they pamper me for $60 I would rather buy shaving supplies and have some thing for my money that will last longer than a day. Just my opinion.

I thought I saw a barber up in the AOS shop in Denver... I didn't stop to ask though.

I hear that...if I thought it was going to be a truly exceptional experience that might teach me something about enjoying shaving I would pay up on a special occasion (birthday or something) but its doubtful that I would learn more from the experience than an equivalent time spent here

Out of all the barbers in my area( about 6) only one still does strait razor shaves. He uses a shavette type razor, and charges 8 bucks. He charges me 3 bucks just for a neckline shave. But there is no steamed towels or anything fancy about it. He just gets a hot lather foam from a machine dispenser and thats your prep! And from the feel of it I wouldnt want a full face shave! I dont think it cuts the hair as much as it scrapes the hair.

I splurged for their shave and it was amazing. Long process that was well worth it. Granted it was 15 years ago and I was graduating college...

I found out after my wife took me to the barbershop in Beverly Hills for my first straight razor shave, it was $60 plus tip. Best shave of my life, a week later I spent $350 for a set up and am happy to say I'm HOOKED on straight razor shaves!!!

I got my head shaved by an old barber here in town this past weekend, clippers then two passes with a shavette. 12 bucks.
