It's 3:00 pm, the hottest point of the day on the hottest day of the year, and I can't take it anymore. I've made a decision. My hair has to go! I am going to get a headshave. I pick up my purse and head to the barbershop.
It's 3:15 as I arrive at the barbershop and take a seat in the waiting area and play with my phone until I'm called. "next" says the barber.
It's 3:30 and it's my turn to get in the chair. I sit down in the big black leather chair as I'm being caped. The barber asks "what are we doing today?" I tell him to take it all off and leave me nice and smooth. "a headshave?" asked the barber. I nod and say yes.
It's 3:33 and the clippers are turned on. I hear a loud pop and hum and nearly jump out of my seat. "Are you sure about this? asked the barber. I take a deep breath and say yes. As the clippers with no guard get closer to my head I take another deep breath and close my eyes as I exhale slowly. The guardless clippers touch the front of my forehead and are pulled back to my crown as my hair cascades down to the cape and eventually onto the floor. With each pass of the clippers more hair falls to the floor. The feel of the vibrating clippers is invigorating as they move all over my head. As all the hair my head falls to the floor I begin to feel free. As the last pass of the clipppers go over my head I notice the coldness of the air conditioner on my head and it feels good.
It's now 3:45 and the barber takes a hot towel and places it on my head while he sweeps my hair up off the floor and throws it away. The barber then removes the towel and puts hot shaving cream all over my head and begins using a straight razor on my head. As the razor is pulled from the front to the back of my head it scrapes away the shaving cream and stubble leaving me with soft, smooth skin. The razor feels good as it glides up and accross my head leaving behind only soft, smooth skin. The barber then puts a second layer of shaving cream and goes over my head again. I am enjoying the feel of the razor and the feeling of freedom. I now feel cooler, lighter, and have one less thing to worry about. As the barber finishes going over my head a second time he puts a nice smelling lotion and talc on my scalp and says I am done.
It's now 4:00 I get out of the chair and feel my head. It feels so good, so soft and smooth. I pay the barber and give him a nice tip as I leave feeling my head the whole way home. Wow! What an hour can do!
