Turkish Barber Shave

[alishock]

Currently in Turkiye, have had the obligatory haircut and shave. First time I would add. My experience, really average. I've had Barber shaves in England and NZ, they actually took more care and attention but...for the money I have always come away thinking I do better at home with my 34c or r41. I just don't rate the quality of the shave. The experience perhaps is nicer, hot towel, massage etc but I get a better finish and less irritation when doing it myself.

Have I just had a poor experience or is this others experience too?

Unfortunately, no. A barber shave is on my bucket list. If I ever get to Italy, I'm down!

I use to go to Barber College downtown Los Angeles.

They had 3 prices.

FREE: New students

35 Cents: Some experence.

65 Cents: Almost ready for State Board.

Couple of times the students did Free Shaves, only let advanced student do.

Always worried they would goof.

$ 75 in 1926 was a month's wages for most guys ......
