Barber Shop


Went barber shop with my Bay.

Obviously not me.

Wondering why barber shop only for guys.

The sharp, steel barber sheers lay unattended on the tabletop. Bottles of hair cream arranged neatly besides it. Several plastic combs bunched loosely in a container. Medium sized- posters of men sporting short hair cuts were pasted symmetrically on the walls, decorating the barber shop. There were even new ones of famous Bollywood heartthrobs. This is how a typical barber shop is.

Seriously, i've passed by many barber shop but never really walk in to any of these. Well, barber shop is only for guys, why would i be there? *lol* Wondering why barber shop is only for male but not female. Here's why. A barber is abstracted from the Latin 'barba', meaning beard. They are someone whose occupation is to cut any type of hair and to shave or trim the beards of men. The place of work of a barber is generally called barbershop instead of saloon. And why would female owns beard? lol.

I just noticed that barbershop has a long history which i wont even touch any of that topic here. lol. I only know that 1880's to the 1940's were the golden age for barbershops. Where back then there wasnt any saloon or beauty saloon, spa and much more. Again, barbershop makes the difference by providing the environment for men only.


My Bay said barbershop gave him the perfect shave, which lasted much longer than his shave. Perfect shave is what all men strive for every morning when they bring their razor up their chin and is an effortless shave that's baby smooth and without any of the usual skin irritation, redness and burning sensation most guys seem to feel is par for the course when it comes to shaving. Why so hard to achieve? Proper shaving has become a lost art. *lol* Nowadays it became more about cheap and disposable razors. It also became brainless routine to rush through in the morning without even thinking about it. How patience a man can be everyday to shave properly? *smile*


Now only i realized this, the shaving brush. And for me it looks like make up equipment for girls. *lol* Well, men do need it too. But what is the function of this? Why is it so important? How to use it? How does it work? All inside this link ---Click it--- . Well nowadays men only use hand to wipe all the shaving creams on their chin, who will be still using this? None i guess.


Well, nice experience in the barbershop, especially the stunning massage part. *lol, makes me stunned for few seconds* Oh, never forget to mention, the services are quite cheap. And what's wrong for entering a cheap, simple and crude barbershop but provides the perfect shave that every men hungering? Try it. =)
