[cat in the hat]

first of all, shame on you! what are you? an 8 year old dancing around in anticipation of Santa?

try finding a barber shop that can give you a a straight razor shave. they are popular in some areas. the experience is comparable to a pedicure for women. by that i mean that it is kind of self indulgent.

hot towels, oils and prep then the shave itself is interesting. you are putting complete trust in that barber not to slice you up.

as far as doing it yourself, it takes practice and is more time consuming than a few quick swipes while in the shower or using the electric while reading the morning paper.
