Barber shop head and face shave
« on: November 07, 2009, 06:44:23 PM »
Had a head and face shave today.  The head shave was great.....straight edge for both.  The face shave wasn't as smooth as I could get myself but the barber said my hair growth pattern was hard to shave.  I think I can skip shaving my head for a day it was so close.  It took 2 hours total and included a scalp massage.  I will be in Las Vegas in a few weeks and will try a shave at Truefitt and Hill and see how they compare.  I definitely recommend everyone try it once.

Great report--best shave, though long before I needed to worry about the head was in Barcelona--didn't need to shave for 4 days.  Now a goal is to go back to that barbershop, off the Ramblas near the old square, and see what they can do on the dome.

Nice! I wish I could find a Barber around here that would do that.
Tis better to have a bald head than no head at all.

Two hours? Wow! Sounds like quite the experience. I'll have to try that some time.  8)

Where is this place, it would be a good stop on a trip obviously--that numb feeling, OMG, that would be worth it alone.  :)

The place is called Blade in Sacramento CA....I knew a few of you would appreciate that "numb" feeling comment....it really is the best

Damn, I went to boarding school in Sacramento, it's since closed, 21st & K, old Christian Brothers.  May have to go to a reunion just to get a shave!
