It takes more than a little persuasion to get me into a barber's shop, never mind a barber's chair.
But my son convinced me he had just the man to shave and trim to perfection. "After all, Truefitt and Hill are experts. Even Charles Dickens was a former customer". Still .... one of those cut-throat razors!
I was nervous - especially since one of my Irish stories concerns rats committing suicide by cutting their throats on a razor just like this.
However, Mahomad, the Syrian barber, was an expert at his job. He convinced me .... almost .... that I should have a barber-visit more often, that it would be more healthy for my hair - or what's left of it!
