今天在某个论坛看到一个老外怀念老上海剃头店的文章
Though I haven’t frequented Shanghai style barber shops for decades, I am still very nostalgic about it.
First, there is the three-color swirling electrical lantern hanging outside these barber shops while hair salon doesn’t have, does any poster know what it stands for?
Right after you are greeted warmly into the air-conditioned barber shop with Shanghaiese-accented Cantonese, you are showed with a box of four different brands of cigarettes while you are waiting on the seat. Though I didn’t smoke, I appreciated their courtesy.
The features I am really nostalgic:
(1) Ear pick (now banned for hygienic reason):
The barber carefully picks all ear wax which is really refreshing;
(2) Shaving (now I dare not try owing to AIDS):
He shaves every part of your face including the hair on the eyelids and ears;
(3) Trimming nostril hair (now I dare not try owing to SARS):
After the haircutting is over, the barber used a slim pointed scissor to trim your nostril hair.
(4) Massage: The best part is after the haircut, the barber will massage both sides of your shoulder which makes you feel completely relieved;
(5) Hot towel: Hot towels with Dittol smell are served after haircutting and hair blowing.
Of course, there are some parts I hate. The hairblowing guy always put Brylcreem (the only place where you can find dudes still using Brylcreem) without asking you first and blows everyone’s hair like that of Hu Jintao!
But anyhow, the one hour service is still just a fraction of what it costs you in the fancy hair salon!
读到 那个给他吹风的家伙往他头上涂凡士林，把他头发弄成胡锦涛发型 的地方，偶真是笑翻了。这人可太逗了！
不知道现在国内还有没有 管掏耳朵的老式剃头师傅。除了老妈，偶从来没让别人给掏过耳朵。出国这些年，偶自己掏耳朵引起中耳炎好几次了。最近睡觉翻身的时候老是听见松动的耳屎掉下来的声音，自己不大敢挖，又信不过老公，怕给他笨手笨脚地挖聋了。读了此文，好想让个手艺好的老式剃头师傅给我掏掏耳朵啊，清清里面的陈年老垢。
前几天研究了一下老外是如何清除耳屎的，写了一篇文章。有兴趣的来看看：
