If you fancy a proper shave and want to see how good it is but don't want to shell out on kit 'till you've tried it why not treat yourself to a session at a traditional barber. Don't know about your area but up here the growth of Turkish barbers is pretty good. Though I've had a beard since school I like to keep it neat and tend to shave my neck and part of my cheaks.
Though I use a variety of shaving methods including cut-throat the first time I had someone shave me was out in Turkey. Had been up climbing in the mountains and came down for a Turkish bath and shave. Though a typicaly reserved Brit once I got over the initial close contact I found the steam and pummeling good on knackered muscles. Then it was time for a shave.
The hot towels, lather and flame along with the keen blade did wonders for my sun and wind burned skin. Though nervous of someone taking a razor sharp blade to my throat it was a relaxing experience. (The most trusted man in the kingdom is the Kings barber.
).
I had another shave about two months ago in a local Turkish barber as a treat after a trying time. Was nice to get a pamper and didn't cost that much. So if you fancy giving it a try but don't want to cut your own throat give it a try at your local Turkish barber and see if you like it.
Was great smelling the "limon" oil aftershave that is traditional again. Had run out ages ago and the smell took me back.
