Barbershop Shaves

[bbcin1999]

Just got a shave which I really enjoyed at the Barbershop.
Buzzed to the skin and then he used a Norelco to razor to shave it.

Went over it a lot to get it smooth.
A little stubble but definitely bald.

I had not shaved in about a week.
Anyone else add barbershop shaves to their balding routine?

Cool bro!  I had my head shaved with a straight razor at the Art of Shaving Barber.

Yeah, I agree...my barber takes the straight razor up the sides and the back...'bout every 7-10 days and use the Mach 3 in between.

Tyler: I think I saw an Art of Shaving shop when I was in Las Vegas last year...is that the same place (is it a chain?) where you went? I was tempted to check it out, but wasn't going as short as I am now. Also saw a Truefitt and Hill barbershop in the Ceasars Forum. Seems like it would be a nice, relaxing experience.

Yeah, the Art of Shaving store I went to was in the Mandalay Bay shops.  It was a very relaxing experience.

I haven't gotten my head shaved at a barber, but I would love to try it.

I really like both The Art of Shaving and Truefitt and Hill's products. I use them both all the time.

I really enjoy rewarding myself wih a BS headshave.  Although my barber can't get me as slick as I can myself, he goes over my head twice against the grain using a straight razor.  Starts it all with hot towels to soften up the stubble. He usually spends 30 to 45 min and I tip him heavy. He owns the shop and told me to come in first on a weekday morning and also he prefers not to razor shave heads on weekends becuase its so busy.  one of the best parts is watching the expressions and listening to the guys waiting to get buzzed.  A lot of them want to get completely skinned but dont have the nerve.  I recommend BS headshaves to any devoted skinhead.

You guyz have b@lls!!!   Even the thought of a straight razor coming at my scalp, face, or otherwise scares the hell outta me.  Too many slasher movies, I guess.

Q: Haven't straight-edge razors been being outlawed by different states since HIV began plaguing us, or am I

You're correct, they have.  Except, now they have them with disposable blades.  So, the same blade is never used on two different people.

Wow, I didnt know that they had disposable straight razors.

I will be ringing around to the local barbers in the area to get a Straight Razor headshave in the next few weeks.


Good Topic.

Man, i have a some great barbershop headshaves in the past, some with straight razors (kinda scary and cool at the same time) and a couple reg. disposalble ones...

i would recommend it to anyone...eventhough i got great smooth, very close shaves, i've heard of other dudes not getting them that close...but with the shave in the shop , it's the experience of gettting your head shaved bald in front of others dudes...when you know they're saying to themselves, 'what the heck is that guy doing to himself'...I love that reaction...

or heck they may be sayin' " Man, wish i had the b@lls to go that too!"..

If you go for it Jdog, try to grow out your hair for at least 2-3 days to have a buzz goin...then you can go to the shop and tell the barber to shave you head slick bald...the reaction is worth the grow out!

Hey Andre yeah I will do that mate, thanks for the post. I agree it would freak them out wouldnt it?

There are a lot of Italian and Greek barbers in my area (about 7 in a 5 block radius). I'm going to meander down there this weekend and will post pics when I do the deed.
