[chefsmith]

Anyone been for a barbers razor shave ?
Im an arm down and want a good close shave for a ball thing im going to.
Anyone know of a good one ?

my fiance goes to one next to aida (the one amost opposite the opera) - where aida is on the corner, its right on that road, about 10-15 yards down. He used to call and book an appointment but now just goes there, they open till 6. He really likes the service there

What's the approx. cost for the barber shave (and what's the German word for it?)
That would be a great gift for my husband, who wears a full beard in the winter and grudgingly shaves it for me in the summer. He hates shaving.

Cheers,
I will try that place on monday and let you know how i got on.

I found a place today, was terrible.
Gillete razor, gillete shave cream, and as good as i can do myself with one arm
Was only a tenner though, but i used to have a guy in Dublin, you'd sit there with a Brandy and cigar, a face steam for ten mins, a face massage, another small steam, cut throat razor all over, few ointments etc and a condom put into your top pocket, a relaxing hour.... it was 50 quid though.

You should have just listened to kats suggestion!

I thought I had gone to kats suggestion, I hope I got the wrong place.

thats weird, the bloke he goes to def uses cut throat razor. there is no steam though )) but then neither is there any gilette
the place is very small apparently - maximum 15 feet long inside, 2 or 3 chairs, a painting on a ceiling... does that sound like the place?

he finally remembered the address: Operngasse 10, tel. 9719370
