to celebrate the start of the term, i got a haircut and a shave a couple nights ago. the barber didn't speak a bit of english, and i certainly couldn't explain what i wanted in bangla. so i pointed at someone whose hair was roughly the same length i wanted, and i think i got the standard cut.
the barber didn't have electric clippers, so everything was done with scissors and and razor. after the haircut, he gave me a shave with a straight razor. then he put on several other creams and lotions, and he gave me another shave. then he gave me a head massage and pounded on my shoulders. it was pretty relaxing.
the barber took his job very seriously, which i appreciated. neither of us felt a need to make smalltalk. in keeping with my interest in photographing people at work, i was able to slip out my phone and take a few pictures.
the front is a little longer than i would normally choose, but i'm embracing it. i think it has kind of a rockabilly look. here is the finished product:
