Barber Shoppe Straight Razor shaving experience

Apparently not now jbib - the Chinese birth rate has been dropping for decades and actually bigger families are actively encouraged and assisted nowadays.
The past government social engineering did not work and they need a bigger labour force and more engineers, technicians and STEM graduates for the future when, finally the second Silk Road is completed and the High Speed rail links and ports all over Asia are built and integrated.
The rail lines and ports are weather independent so will be ultra fast and efficient - the airports don`t have the overall freight capacity either.
The infrastructure construction is unreal in scope, speed and efficiency - I don`t think the West will ever catch up now unfortunately - Elvis has left the building !
They prefer trade and have been traditionally merchants for millennia.

I think that going to a Professional Barber for a proper shave is a great luxury. They have to do the whole nine yards though, hot steamy towel on the face for a few minutes, hot shave cream, straight razor shave, hot towel wipe down and hot towel again on the face, after shave lotion and done. It is rare to find places that do this any more but I really like it. Personally I always shave in a hot shower with a Harry's razor and cream. It is not bad but not as nice as the Barber doing it. I have had it done probably a hundred times and have never had even a minor cut. I have considered getting a Dovo or Hart Razor many tines but, never have gone for it.
