It is a worthy experience to get oneself a shave in India. The price you end up with is six times as much as the starting one, as in the meantime, the client has been indulged by series of exquisite services, such as head and face massage, cleaning beauty mask and others. All this usually takes so long, that one might pretty easily fall asleep, waking up to discover a hindi-style mustache on his face, despite asking twice beforehand for its removal. The barber has a vision of his own, and there's nothing else to do but to respect it. This is India!
