A Gentalmans Pleasures

One of the delights for me of being in a cheep country is I can actually afford to have a shave at a barbers every few days. Used to do it in India long time back, and have also been able to do it in Egypt. Had an excelent shave from a chirpy christian chap in Luxor the other day. As well as the normal clippers for the head, strait razor for the bristles, he had an interesting string method which involved using fine cotton thread to rip out surplus hair on on the cheeks, ears and around the eye brows. Afwul painful, but left me smooth as a Kashmiri's sales pitch!
