Barber Shop Headshave

[Arnie]

Gonna have to try it some time myself...see what all the "fuss" is about.

A new place opened near me called "Roosters". It's a franchise. For $20, they offer to shave your head "as smooth as a baby's bottom". I'll have to check it out soon.

There is a Roosters franchise now open in suburban Chicago as well.  I think I'll give them a try and see if they can really deliver on the 'smooth as a baby's bottom' claim.

My only other head shave by a barber was sadly disappointing on smoothness.

There is a barber here that will do them--I had him trim up the face fuzz a couple of weeks ago and asked.  However, although he uses the straight razor he said it wouldn't be any smoother than my Hydro 5 shave--but you do get all the prep--hot towels, etc., and a head massage after the shave. I'm thinking of doing it just before Christmas as a gift to myself.

I had my head shaved at barber shops several times.  They don't get as close as I can, but it's a decent experience.

I just arrived from my regular barber shop head shave. The experience took the usual hour of lathering and scraping......the result is smooth as a baby's bottom...Can't wait for the next appointment.

have done it many times, love the feel and rub

Just had my head shaved while on holiday in Fiji.  There is a large Indo-Fijian population in Fiji and consequently many barbers (just like India).  Only cost about US$3 but although relaxing experience with straight razor it was disappointing as to smoothness.  Lots of Fijian men had shaved heads and were very smoothly bald - perhaps they shaved themselves.

The  last time I had it  done was at  Grooms  in Brighton  , expensive  but  a wonderful  experience . A guy  called Steve  did  mine  and he likes doing headshaves . I sort of had time off  from  SLy  about a month ago . He buzzed  , shaved  once  witha  cut throat after  hot lather . Rinsed   lathered  and shaved again hot rinse cooler  rinse  .  Trimmed my brows  , and as I specified  I wanted  a shiny finish I got  one   with   a fragrant  stuff  . Felt so good after coming out  . It is a  treat  but can thouroughly reccommend it if your in Brighton but they do like an appointment  , cost me  £22 .  I would go  back again def  , You can also find  some Turkish  Barbers who will do it . Pall Mall Barbers  in London  do it  appointment though  never had  one done there yet .

Advice  always   check  what your getting before  making the appointment , ie  soem guy tried to  dry shave me  , not a good experience  .

Thank for the recommend.

Think I will visit Grooms of Brighton for one their shaved head specials, when next I visit.

Well ihave noticed Brighton there are quite a few barbers now doing hot shaves , i m not sure if this als means a head shave . Since my brief argument with a HB last friday might have to leave it to grow and get a pro to shave me , dont want to it looks a disgrace .

You bet I would but im in the UK , ur on the other side of the pond

Every now and then, I let mt hair grow out for a couple of weeks! Just for the feeling of walking out of the barbers shop with a freshly shaved head! (Last time I did this, about a month ago, I walked out of the barber shop into a huge smile from a stunningly beautiful dark haired lass! I was too stunned to even say Hello!)

I go to Legends in Holborn (Tony does a fine head shave... hot towels and a very close shave. It's £16, so it's not an everyday thing)

Arty Chris,

Is Legends this one http://www.thelegendsbarbershop.com/site/node/2

Been wanting to have a barber shave my head for ages. This place is on the way home from work. Think it's time for a professional shave. Curious to see how feels compared with the home shave and get any tips from a barber.
