Turkish Shave?

Has anyone ever heard of this? The fire and string look awesome. What do you think the benefits of those steps in the shave are?

 

[Tricky]

I have no idea, but that looks amazing! I'd sign up in a heartbeat.

I had to look at the prices and I can't believe how cheap it is! The only thing I am not too excited about is the fact that they use a shaving gel instead of a soap. This can be overlooked though at a wild price of roughly $20!!! Can you believe that?

The string is twirled down the face, grabs strays, and yanks 'em out Epilady-style. It's painful as all get-out.

Oh my, that looks mighty relaxing. I'm putting it on my "to do" list.

I may be traveling to Turkey next year, a shave may be in the cards but I will pass on the massage. I have been to a few Italian shops that use the hand-held electric massager on the neck and shoulders but I just don't feel it is long enough to benefit me and it just feels forced. If I want a massage I will get one from a masseuse.

The "flaming" is used where the "threading" cannot, like ear lobes and other parts of the face. I'd go to that London barbers any day rather than take a trip to Trumpers, not just the price but they use a real straight rather than shavette.

I go to Turkey about 5 times a year and I always have plenty of shaves in the traditional barber shops where we go. It's really relaxing and costs around 5 Turkish Lira (around £2 or $3.50)

They also use an Alum Bloc too - which isn't shown in this clip.
