IS there anywhere in the Swindon area that offers this service ie. Hot towels, proper wet shave jobby....?

I would imagine most male barbers offer a cuthroat shave although there might not be many with heated towels.

Never had it myself.

Do they though. I think most don't offer that service.

Have you tried the St Tropez on Vic Hill ? I hear they may offer something like that !

Boom boom.........

Whenever I go in a barbers there always seems to be a cuthroat razor and\or one of those brushes lying around. If you go in a proper traditional barbers (as opposed to trendy unisex place) they will offer the shave.

Try it.

The one on Faringdon road, next to the Bridal shop does I think

but why ?

I pulled a bird of Friday night who offered such a service gratis....I pointed out I'd been attached to mine for many years and they were going nowhere...she seemed a bit disappointed.  Am I being too conservative?

shaving is for idiots

no-one likes beardy rash Mr Bennett

pfff, i reiterate- shaving is for idiots

I agree with bennett

I got fed up of being emasculated by your facial hair and had a shave :D Apparently I look thinner...definitely paler from blood loss as I hacked away at my face.

Why what?

I think Fred is suggesting a Wilkinson Sword Platinum Titanium Mr X is just as good

But I hate shaving. Want a 'proper job'.

Surely it'll just grow back in a couple of days? A decent razor, some moisturiser and facial scrub would do just as good a job.

That sounded a bit gay didn't it. Fucks sake.

It's a marriage of convenience isn't it? Just a cover for both of your's rampant homosexuality.

Outed. Have I got your number?

Sippo I am guessing you want to try this for novelty or do it occasionally.

Cos if you're actually thinking "fuck shaving myself I'm getting a professional job at the barbers from now on" and paying for a shave several times a week then I would have to think you're some sort of pimp. [url width=22 height=24]http://www.dogsonacid.com/images/smilies/pimp.gif[/url]

No, Birdy has, I'm a lezza.

I'm very open minded. Every hole..

at the swindon town end of season party before I pissed him off I was talking to christan roberts and he was telling me he has never shaved with a razor mac 5 jobby and gets a "proper" wet shave once a week at the barbers.

Fair enough getting a barber shave once a week if you don't mind stubble inbetween but what if you like to shave every day? You can't go to the barbers for your morning shave every day. For a start they're not open that early.

Most normal people have to shave themselves.

The other 'alf wants me clean shaven for the wedding. Long way off yet, but i just wanted to know if there was anywhere in Swindon so I can check em out well in advance..

Bumpity bump.

any idea's?

Have you tried Virgilio's in Old Town?

Where's that?

Bath Road. Right on the roundabout at the top of Vic Hill.

Doesn't a proper shave last longer? Sure I saw something on TV years ago and they said it would last a few days if done properly, it was in Turkey or somewhere like that. I think it might be called a Turkish Shave.

Cool, I'll get my best man to enquire! I think there's a 'dodgy' place on manny road aswell.

As mentioned before, the only place that looks like it would offer a decent proper shave with a blade is down on the corner of faringdon rd - Chesterfields.  I've often fancied having one myself, because I hate shaving and have now slipped into only shaving once every 5 days or so.  Never get it close enough without ripping the skin to shreds.  I may look into this myself now.

Failing that, whack some hair removal cream on your face and pop into A&E to deal with the resulting burn.

Buy a decent razor and diy??

They dont do them Rob,my brother asked in there the other week and they have bothered for ages apperently.

That place on manny road does i believe.

Doesn't on me, but then again i have a shadow after 10 mins, and can grow a beard in just over a week. So depends on your folicle makeup i guess.

I hate shaving.

I probably shave 2 to 3 times a week. I find I get a closer shave with 2 or 3 days stubble and also less shaving rash.

Use a facial scrub before shaving, it really does help.

This reminds me of Red Macca, he rented a place to a 'Kebab' man and kept banging on about how he would get free food, he was a fucking barnber on manny road the idiot!

I have to shave every morning and hate it, worse if I am out for a meal in the evening I have to shave again.  This means I must have 500 shaves a year jesus!

For those who are interested going to Lewis Shaver Centre tmrw which is on Manchester road.

Done and dusted. was really good, even though the bloke didn't speak english. def worth doing!

But aren't you getting married a week tomorrow? It'll have grown back by then.

Went for a test run mate, just to check it out like.
