Tyler, SlyBeard, Sir Henry, Razor X, RSS114 and everybody, Just ONE Word, BRILL. You confirmed that I am not crazy (or just not entirely crazy
) and on the right track and I want to share my thoughts about what you have said.
Barbers don’t have much competition for giving you the best shaved dome experience and that explains the “gamble” to get a good job done by them. They think that they need you more than you need them, and even come across as doing you a favour perhaps.
Most barbers have no impelling reason to improve their shaved dome service like they have for hairy heads. So Razor X’s comment is valuable and happens a lot. Barbers are tied to regulations to put knife to skin and risks losing their own skin through accidental cuts.
Technique and expertise has faded almost completely from the high street and those that remain will charge a king’s ransom for their services. And without doubt, the experiences from the good ones are truly exquisite.
Tyler, you bet what we have will do a close a shave as you can and this includes behind the ears, the back of your head and all the difficult-to-shave ridges. Plus the fuss they make on you inside a salon will make sure you can’t repeat the same experience back home.
This vision of mine is brand new, therefore not ideal. So, the biggest struggle is getting my message meaningfully across before it exceeds your boredom threshold.
I figured as this vision is for everyone, I want to build up the people who share the same vision. The success of the vision will be rewarded with the dawn of a new culture. The culture chases the best barbershop/hair salon finish experience for the shaven domes.
The rewards for everyone involved have to be fun. The expansion of the culture will be through socials, parties, exhibitions and conferences. The other expansion path will be technologically progressed. The success of the culture taking hold requires a critical mass of barbershop/hair salons offering a good market penetration of the shaven dome along side their “cut & blow dry”.
We have decided not to sell what we got into barbershops/hair salons but instead, installed free for them and focus on more soul enriching path. Therefore for our journey, the culture stands better odds of taking hold within our lifetime.
So what do you see in my vision?
