Has anyone ever had their head shaved by someone else, be it a barber or wife/girlfriend? I never have. How was the experience?
I've had it done a few time in the Art of Shaving barber shop. It's always a relaxing experience, but I have yet to find one that can get as smooth as I can.
I've never had mine shaved by anyone else, however after reading the comments here, I'm sure the barbers don't get it very close because they're afraid to cut or slice someone. Of course, I sho nut don't want to be cut neither.
Sometimes, when you go to a barbershop, time and the amount of people may be a factor in how they shave your head. I've gotten some of the best headshaves at this Arabic barbershop about 45 minutes from my house but it's only one block from where I bowl league on Tuesdays, so on my off Tuesdays, I'll leave the house about two hours earlier before bowling and go there....Does a great job with the razor, and even goes over with a foil shaver after the razor shave...and most importantly they will ask first before they touch your beard. I do go to other shops for comparison, but usually once a month by a barber is plenty@slybeard - I tried the other location of the place that you recommended last Tuesday and it so happened a friend of mine was in there with his brother, who was in training....My friend did a nice job and I tipped him well. In conclusion, the barbershop that I choose to go to depends on time and/or location of an event factor. Not going to go 40 miles out of my way to a barbershop just for a shave, but it's nice to have options, including the do it yourself one.
