The last few days have been busy and stressful for me, so today I decided to go to the barber at my almost-local mall for a shave and pampering. Definitely worth it, both for the shave and the de-stressing.
If you’re ever in my corner of the world, you should seriously consider a visit to them; they do great work for a fair price.

There is something… almost sinful about going to a professional barber for a straight razor shave. The hot towels, the massage, the pre-shave oil, the lather, the post-shave massage with a face tonic…
…and, off course, the fact that my cheeks are so smooth even the day after that I don’t have to shave on a Monday morning!
