In addition to David's story about the two chicks who went to the barber and got their heads shaved, I have seen very little posted about going to a barber for the plate shave.
I realize it can be done effectively from home....but I have nonetheless considered going to a barber for my first head shave. Has any of you ever had the melon shaved by a barber?.....or have you known someone who has? I read that it can be pretty expensive. Someone here mentioned $80.00 or so
Fill me in, gentlemen

I've been to a pro barber to get my head shaved. It was at the Art of Shaving store and barber spa in midtown Manhattan. It cost $35 and was a fun experience. They shaved my head with a straight razor.

I want to try a barber head shave too. I suspect that it would be closer than one I could do at home

Yes, twice. Once in Houston and once in Katy. The one in houston used a regular disposable razor and shave cream. It was relaxing and she did an awesome job. Cost 15 bucks. However, the 2nd time I went to one in katy where they used the straight edge, two days before thanksgiving. Ended up with more red spots/bumps than I could imagine. I was pissed, and wished I could have my 18 bucks back.
I tried the disposable razor technique the first couple of weeks, but some spots were annoying and I don't have good coordination as it is. So I invested 95 bucks in a nice norelco shaver that is wet/dry and can work with my gel.
Haven't had problems with nicks and serious burn/bumps since.

Its a nice treat every now and again , to get my head shaved by a pro and the result is amazing . Just be careful that they are going to wet shave you . One guy I went to once dry shaved me , never again .
