More straight trainees in Yeovil, UK

[AlanL]

This lovely trio recently completed their training for delivering straight-razor shaves and lectures in Yeovil, England.

This type of shave is very much coming back into fashion. Lots of men do prefer a traditional wet shave and as they are beginning to visit salons more and more, this is becoming a luxury treatment for them.

Having completed theory training, the keen new barbers honed their new skills shaving 10 willing volunteers each.

cool but, does that mean they had to do ten each to get certs or they made certs and them shaved 10 more for free?

[AlanL]

My take was that after "theory training" they had to do hands-on training, with volunteers.

Is it a British thing to have the scales between the ring/pinky? Always thought standard was between middle/ring finger. True, it all depends on comfort, but wondered if in England you are taught the ring/pinky way. Cool pic!

Perhaps the smaller fingers of women allow three fingers on the blade?

Or how about a shave from this young lady in Australia?

Maybe we should find a way to let her know she has a growing fan base. Interested in .... shaves, of course.
