After 3 months of growing the beard and cultivating a beard i was surprised that it was fairly smooth and not itchy and looked reasonably good after a trim but decided it was time to go and decided to finish with a fine British tradition of a professional shave.
After the 3 months this was the final beard.
I found a Barber's that offered in South Yarra called King's Domain.
It offered the full service shave including hot towels to loosen up the skin and clear the pores and the full cut throat razor. I was a little disappointed that the initial shave was with an electric razor which cleared the majority of the hair but it was probably better as shaving that much may have been painful. It started with the shave with the electric razor (a very fancy quality electric razor). The came a series of hot towels.
After the hot towels came the shave with the cut throat razor. Was enjoyable as a one-off experience it was a weird sensation having someone else manipulate your skin and getting you to do all the facial movements that you normally do automatically whilst shaving. Was not a relaxing as just sitting back and being shaved but was well worth investing in at least once in your life to get the feeling.
Finished off with some shaving creams and scents and the shave was complete. Felt very smooth and soft after and a little delicate to touch for the next few hours.
