Had a Real Shave | April 9, 2009

After remaining unshaved for about 4 or 5 days, I decided it was time for a shave. We went and saw a guy who spoke no english what so ever and guesticulated that  he should go to town on my face with a cut throat razor. I was both excited and very, very still. He also sorted out the tiny little hairs on my the top of my cheeks by holding a lighter to my face. That was warm and smelt horrible.

Turns out it’s quite the process, lathering up alone took about 6 or 7 minutes. I got shaved twice over and then cleansed, mositurised and offered aftershave, talcum powered (at least I think that’s what it was), and had my hairline around the back of my neck tidied up. Then he played with my hair a little to make sure I was looking my best and sent me on my way.

All in all, a good experience. I’d recommend it.
