I got swamped with work the whole week that I was not able to visit my barber for my Monday head shave appointment, that is why I only went to the barber shop this evening. To my pleasant surprise, a young man in his mid 20's is having his head shaved against the grain with a straight razor. It is a rare occasion when 2 guys are having their heads shaved totally smooth at the same time in a barber shop. Head shaving is gaining ground in my side of the world. Also, three of the barbers, including my regular barber have a zero blade clipper shave.
