I see it more as a return to services offered by traditional barbers in the good old days...... ...something for the weekend, Sir?....... |

>>>The Turkish one in my neighbourhood offers a more comprehensive range of services,<<<<
Certainly true round here - drug supply, brothel services, and I suspect money laundering?

One of my patients had an unpleasant accident at a Turkish barbers.
Barber fumbled the cutthroat razor and his customer got a nice vertical slice through eyebrow, cornea on the front of his eye, and cheekbone.
Luckily the cornea healed nicely after a week or so, but he still has a wee scar on his cheek.

Never heard of "Turkish Barbers" as a thing before this thread, and to be honest it doesn't sound like it's my kind of thing at all.
However, by a magical coincidence I'm listening to Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings right now, if that helps. Bit cheesy, but you know, has to be done every so often.
Oh, and the very cheapest haircut near me here in town is £17 mate, take it or leave it.

In our town the cheapest is £10.50, but just 6 miles away you can allegedly get something resembling a haircut for £3.50. Apparently, sometimes, it goes quite well, but I've never risked it. Not so much the haircut, it's more about whether the wheels would still be on your car when you got back to where you'd need to leave it while the procedure was being carried out.
That of course is part of the charm of living in the North. It's eclecticism.

Well, you'd cycle 6 miles, so it's not relevant. Mind you, if they then took the wheels off, I can tell you now you'd never get the braking system back together.

There a place near Smithfield market, more or less underneath Holburn Viaduct where they train barbers. If you're feeling lucky, you can just go in and get a free haircut but it will be done by someone who may or may not be nearing the end of their training...suppose it depends on what you want doing as to the risk factor. WDB probably couldn't go far wrong. You'd think.

Regretfully, if I went there, however bad it would be, only Espdrille would notice the difference between a good haircut and a bad one.
