Shave and a haircut

Submitted by evets on 31 December, 2006 - 04:32.

I was looking at the seven maroons (aerial bombshells) to finish off tonight's fireworks (seven for 2007) and it occurred to me that there was an unusual opportunity to cut the fuses so they would do 'shave and a haircut...two bits' something (like a Toon) no pyrotechnician can resist.

I was surprised to learn from Wikipedia that this is not to be done in some Spanish speaking countries since it represents an extremely obscene insult. (quoted in Wikipedia, I'm certainly not repeating it here) Is that the case in Nicaragua ?

A shave & a haircut costs about $3.50us. Don't know what ya'll are talking about, but can tell you that Pyrotechnics can lead to a real SORE ass (even 10 days later).

Shave...

You can get a Shave for around $2 In Bluefields at Chele's Barbershop. After he does the Job you won't need to shave for about 3 days..The guy is the best I have ever seen anywhere..He takes about half an hour to do it..hot towels and everything..

Everything?

What exatly do you mean by everything? do you mean they use the brush aswell and make the foam very smooth, is that why it takes half an hour? The reason I ask is because I had a nightmare in a barber in Managua. I was sure that I lost my brush during the flight, so I went to a barber to shave and apart from the hot towel the guy just put a little bit of foam on the face with his hands, and started shaving almost straight away, no need to tell you that this expirience left me sour for 3 days, and with a mistrust in Nicas abilities for shaving, the haircut was OK.

Now I found the brush so I shave myself, but I like to know if there are some good shaving barber in Managua, so when I become lazy I can visit them.

In Italy when you go to a barber, you are treted like a prince, no doubt if you ever visit, try a shave there and you will see what I mean.

Chele is a Master Barber...I never have gone anywhere but him...The other Barbers in Bluefields can't even compare. Chele's shop is almost always full he even serves Cerveza and Fresco while you wait..I did get a real hack job haircut in Managua before..Barber shops in Managua are a dime a dozen..Im sure they have a few good ones..If you're in Bluefields and want a great haircut and a great shave for a great price..Just ask someone to show you where Chele's Barbershop is. The Shave...Chele first massages your face with regular water.. softens everything up then he puts on hot towels and rubs them in...then he brushes on the cream...When he shaves he goes over every part of your face multiple times and reaplys more cream..his secret is the way he holds your face when he shaves...thats how he gets such a close shave..

Just curious...

Does he splash on a little FDC afterward...

Or does he just use the Victoria like Gilley here in Port does?

Ack!

I thought I was livin' high using Schick Quattros and gel shaving cream in the shower. I gotta get to that guy in Bluefields just to see what it's like.

Oh, and the FDC comes after the shower, but never never waste it by applying it to the OUTSIDE of the body.

You can

Submitted by evets on 4 January, 2007 - 07:44.

always apply toilet water after a shave, just mind you don't crack your head on the cistern when you straighten up.

Ahh the old one's are the good ones...well sometimes

No fair!

The fire is still burning a little, but at least the black & blue is mostly gone. Was one hell of an explosion & I feel lucky that It was not worse.
