Thank you, Giammi! Some comments:
1. Nice collection of older metal handled Plisson brushes
2. Notice the shaving bowls on the wall?
3. Never seen the rubber lather catcher used to wipe the straight between passes
4. Love the moustache-curling tongs
5. Never trust anyone who wears white collars on a coloured shirt. Not just as a barber, but for anything. Especially true in politics.
6. We need a video codec that doesn't make any shave at all look so perfect!

Very nice video - thanks Giammi. He does make the straight shave look effortless! Any idea what he sprays on the hot towel?

It is perfumed talc, but applied on the skin

you mean this? http://straightrazorguy.files.wordpress ... g_2600.jpg

Used to avoid any small damages to the blade when whiping off the lather. I tried it - not worth the money IMO.

5.
Never wore one and never will in future. Don't want to offend anybody, as everybody has his personal taste, but I abhor those shirts.

By the way, here is his address if you ever plan to bring your wife to the opera in Paris
