Barber shop sterilization of straights.....or lack thereof
Hi guys,
Found a wicked little barber shop where I'm working these days, and had a great hair cut.
He lined the back up with a straight which was pretty cool.
the only thing I was a bit weird with, was that it was just sitting on his counter, with no sign of barbasol around.
I know the chance of breaking the skin on a line up is minimal, still a little weird.
Otherwise, great haircut, and a nice guy.
Any thoughts?

Barber shaves in the Philippines
Its approx $4 at any reputable barber shop in the Philippines. Its so inexpensive, I would give almost the same amount in tips. So for $8, you get pampered, with lots of towels, a straight shave with a disposable blade straight, and a 5 minute massage. The shaves are not usually as good as the one you can do yourself but I guess every barber is different and not a lot of people will ask for straight shaves and perhaps only the moderate to high end barbers get more practice and experience.
Also, they don't always usually change the blade for every new customer but will do if you ask them to and if you reward them with a big tip, they will be more than happy to see you again. Thanks!
