Three Padmores Head to Japan

My grandfather was a barber his entire life. Went to barber college in Kansas City in the 50’s. Had his own shop in a town of 1100 people. He would give me cuts and a shave once I was old enough to grow whiskers. Very Mayberry. Some of my best memories are of hanging out in his shop with the “regulars” as a kid. Truly was the place to be and I really miss those shaves. And him.

Great trip so far, my first time here with Alex and he is a wonderful organiser and tour guide, although I do often have trouble keeping up with him as his legs are considerably longer than mine!

At Wolfman Barber yesterday, boys both looking sharp after their respective grooming sessions

We met up with Olly, our friends' son/grandson, who is studying Japanese at university in Tokyo. He acted as our translator whilst we tried on vintage specs frames at an amazing store that Alex took us to, Solakzade, which has the most huge and amazing range of vintage eyewear and is run by beautiful and friendly staff wearing crazy and beautiful black outfits - we had a blast (and sad to say, Giles did not buy the green '70s sunglasses he is modelling!)

That’s awesome that they still use straight razors as everyone is getting so scared to use them now due to health risks. Let’s see the results
I use them takes time to practice.
Not for everyone to use
