Thread: a close shave

years ago i had the idea i wanted to be a barber, 10 years after i started talking about it i enrolled in school. Since school started everyday i look forward to what i will learn. a few of the students have a practical test coming up, and since i skipped my shave yesterday i let one of the guys practice on me. He did an ok job. He followed procedure and i certainly have a smooth face. My neck on the other hand is a lil sore, he was heavier handed than i am. All in all, his first time doing a shave i think he did fine. We have all been the new guy with a razor before, and its been awhile since i remembered what that feeling felt like. It is hard to sit back and relax when you can see someone is nervous and they are shaking like a leaf on a tree.

Kudos for volunteering your mug to help pass on the tradition!

nice to see genuine ppl helping others out in their profession. a small gesture like that will go a long way!
