I got to give the client a lot of credit...At least he went ahead and bit the bullet instead of trying to "hang onto"
something that was pretty much gone anyway....I just might order that foil shaver shown in the video if the price is right
Re: The mustache/beard....I would have left the top alone, but I can certainly understand why he wanted the hair over the lip trimmed, especially if he was "tasting" his mustache...and the beard was nicely lined, especially since it was growing uneven anyway, but that's just my opinion
Sometimes, the best days (if possible), is to go to a barbershop early in the week (Tuesday/Wednesday). A slow or empty shop means that the barber may take the extra time for intricate details, instead of trying to rush to get a bunch of heads through while trying to avoid ticking off impatient customers. And I agree with Semi Sly, part of the barbershop experience is the pampering aspect that just can't be done on a do it yourself headshave.
