Thread: Shaving videos from NC meet added to YouTube

There's another cameraman visible in the first video. That looks like some professional equipment he's got!

Is there going to be a 1080p version of these shaves too?

Also, had the barber in the videos shaved others before, or was is he a novice?

That was the local television news cameraman. They did a short spot later that day or the next day - I forget which - and interviewed Lynn and a couple of others as well I believe

Not as far as I know. But if you'd like to donate your new HD camera to SRP, I'll make sure you get a favorable mention in the SRP museum. You might even get your name on a coffee mug

That's Simon of SRP barbering fame. Someone told me that he used to give straight razor shaves to coworkers while working on oil rigs - or some such fantastical story like that. Maybe someone will page him to ask if he'll come share some experiences

Oh yeah? That's pretty cool! I hope someone taped the footage from TV so they can upload it to YouTube. I'm sure a lot of members would be interested in seeing that.

Heh heh. Tempting offer! I think a line of shaving mugs with my "Space Chimp" on them would be pretty hot sellers, don't you?

Straight razor shaving a crew of oil riggers, eh? That's awesome. I've shaved a number of people myself. It's pretty easy in some ways, but difficult in others. I mean, you're used to shaving your own face, but the you have to use a totally different technique and grips. I'd say the main plus, though, is not having to worry about cutting yourself - if you slip, you've only cut the guy in the chair!
