I was looking for this video and couldn't find it. I think the barbershop is cool but nothing compared to the open air section and the traditional razors.
The barbershop guy has good form, but the open air guys just seem so cool.
Anyone ever see a strop in that open air barbershop?

We don't need no stinkin strops...or lather either! :shrug:
Cool! I've always wondered what a shave in a post-apocalyptic-like settlement might look like...and now I know!
I'll bet those guys out on the street are the members of some road gang of warriors. Actually, that's a good idea. I'm going to get to work on a screenplay! :)
I've never shaved my forehead or my ears... does that make me weird?
As a person who shaves both his forehead and ears I'm going to have to go with...yes. :)
Very cool! Am I the only one who now wants one of those big razors they were using at the outdoor place?
I had a shave like that in a barbershop in Bangkok. The woman shaved me completely clean, (I had a goatee), shaved my earlobes, the back of my neck, tidied up my eyebrows, she had the scissors in my ears and nose and finished off with a head and shoulders massage, all for the princely sum of about 200 baht (about £4).
I was in the chair for nearly an hour. That`s what I call service, best money I ever spent. She was rewarded with a large tip!
