So jealous sat here in chilly England. Those noodles are making me hungry...
Surprised to see tattoos openly worn by @Giles' barber. Is Japan becoming more liberal with respect to tats these days?

wonder what kinda cock does that entail..

Padmores… more like Paidmores. Will Haraki be picking you guys up in his GAH Lambo?
Nope, that was being used elsewhere, had to send this instead

I remember my first proper shave by this old Italian barber. I was scared out of my mind seeing him with the straight razor approaching my neck, but my buddy encouraged me to try it.
That barber was so good, it was like the blade never touched the skin and I had zero stubble afterwards. After that, I used to see him for a shave every two or three weeks for about a year until he passed away.
I still miss the work that he could do.

I love the badger brush, soap bowl, double edged safety razor thing, and unless I am traveling, I do that at home. I also love getting shaved by a straight razor as discussed here. I do not have the gumption to try to do the latter myself though.

@mclaincausey That’s my shaving setup as well…I do not have the confidence in myself for a straight razor, but I have been tempted numerous times.

It becomes a ritual, like my morning coffee, which makes me happy and is a great way to start the day. I try to do these things mindfully and meditatively if circumstances allow. Additionally, I prefer the results. And best part, it is far more sustainable and less wasteful, and even cheaper than disposable cartridges. BTW, pro-tip for cartridge users, you get much more life out of cartridges when you thoroughly dry the blades after each shave.
My issue with straight razors is that every now and then, especially when doing a delicate task, I'll kinda jerk. I think it's just a rare nervous tic; don't think I have palsy or anything, but could be nasty with a straight razor.
