Turkish Barbers

[mikey4444]

All being well, I will be making my first trip to what are generally known as
Turkish Barbers tomorrow morning. I have heard good reports of the quality
of the haircuts and the shaves using cut-throat razors ( gulp ! )

Apparently you get the complete treatment...hot towels, etc. My only worry, apart from the cut-throat razor ( gulp again ! ) is will they be open on a Friday morning ? Their Sabbath and all that.

If still alive, I will report back tomorrow !

[shoota]

Il n'est pas un pithivier sans croute...

mikey's decided to grow a beard

[mikey4444]

Not if I have anything to do with it corylus ! Naked bodies and cut-throat razors don't go very well together as far as I'm concerned.

It's a cut throat business ;-)

Oh I don't know, Mikey....tis Johnny Depp after all......♥

When I was a lad mikey the local barbers was a father and son business with the son dealing with us lads and his dad with the "Oldies" ,but if anybody was going some where special they'd go to the old man for a shave with the full treatment. I'll never forget the first time,he wrapped me up in towels then started stropping his cut-throat razor it looked huge and when he put it near my face I admit to having second thoughts,but the result was fantastic.I remember him telling me his father wouldn't let him near a customer till he could shave 20 balloons without bursting one.

Plenty of bone clicking going on at Jack The Clippers !

I wouldn't lay into Mrs. Thatcher during the shave Mikey, in case he's a Tory.
