    Default Visiting London? Want a real straight shave?

    Try here Gents, not quite the livery of Trumper's but then it's a third the price.

    OMG, what's with the flame and the wire contraption?!! Next thing I expected to see was that guy with the machete in the market scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    I'm intrigued and scared at the same time. Is that all included in the base price or do you actually pay extra for the burning and wire conraption?

    Both techniques are used to remove the fine hair's that have not been caught by the blade or are in sensitive areas.

    Nothing to be scared about Sir, these techniques have been used for centuries...he's still alive isn't he?

    I visited this place when I was in London last year. Haircut, shave and massage was £28. Got the flame treatment too, which made me realise I'm now growing hair in my ears. It does feel a bit weird but they know what they're doing.

    While that looked very impressive and awesome, am I alone in saying I'd rather have that done by a woman?

    Anyone? Anyone out there offer up an A-men on that?

    Amen. As for the torture implements, I guess you have to be into the dominatrix thing...

    Don't you mean No-men? I see what you mean but that's nothing, a visit to a Turkish bath would soon relieve you of any inhibitions.
