My local barber used to give fantastic straight razor shaves for $5.00 back in 1995. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
But since pressure from many groups most of all A.I.D.S. from a infected person whom by through by chance contract A.I.D.S. the barber stopped. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Since then I have had my hair cut from Beauty Salons to Wal Mart and no one up North will shave due to A.I.D.S. Fear of dying got to them here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I do miss that shave. For me it was a spa treatment. Hot towel, so hot you could almost scream. Just then hot shaving cream was applied,and then the scraping of the face. Almost ritualistic.<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Very heady experience. I miss it. And if I ever travel South and find a barber still offering to do it,I'll pony up in a instant!

The new "Vision" shaver with "Vibro-Tech" is my current favorite. And Babrasol Regular shaving cream. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


Peace.
