Thought I'd share my latest shaving experience with you as it certainly was memorable for me.
Whilst on holiday in Tunisia I decided to pop along to the hotel barber for a nice shave.
Upon arrival I noticed the big jar of Barbasol on the shelf and cursed for not having popped into the nearest drug store to buy some for home!
Well the chap seemed very nice and lathered me up before Unsheathing his shaverette or whatever it's called (looks like a straight but uses disposable blades). Nothing new there. After shaving me twice (badly as I noticed later - my 4 weeks experience with a DE would out him to shame) he then cursed me for shaving WTG on the bottom of my neck, claiming that if I went ATG the hairs would grow in the same direction as the rest of my beard (hmmmm I wonder).
Anyway he proceeded to re-lather my face and then use a hairdryer on the lather....didnt understand why.
Next he shaved the back of my neck, cut my ear and nose hairs (with the same scissors he would use for the next fellow coming for a trim) and finally the piece de resistance and the bit linked to the title of my post.... He popped off, only to come back 30 seconds later with a length of tooth floss (or similar) between his teeth which he proceeded to twist and then pluck the hairs between my eyebrows, my temples and finally the fluff that grows just above my beard line on my cheeks....Oooow
i now understand why the missus prefers to shave her legs, it has to be one of the most eye watering moments that I experienced in a long time, but it did leave me with a lovely healthy glowing face.
Anyone else been plucked by a barber?
