Clean Shave in Rishikesh – How much I Paid?
I was walking via Swarg Ashram and saw Ganga Hair Dresser Salon.
I thought of a clean shave in Rishikesh and I entered the barbershop.
I was welcomed by Arjun – the barber.
How much for a clean shave? – I question.
Rs. 50 with shaving foam and Rs. 40 with shaving cream.
Ok. Shaving foam – said I.
Though I have always used Gillette Shaving Foam for clean shaves, this time the barber applied Adigo Man Shaving Foam – a product by Stanvac Prime which was a new experience.
I also saw Q-Man Lather Shaving Cream – a product of Kali Kripa Industries, which was a new experience too.
Though Gillette suggests the best way to get a clean shave is to shave it twice, I always prefer once only.
Anyway, the barbershop was non-ac having only 4/5 people seating arrangement.
Arjun did the shaving smoothly. I was happy.
Now till-date I have experienced four types of shaving foam during my visit to various cities/towns – Gillette, Brooks, Cimelle, and Adigo.
The difference?
No idea. All I can say, the clean shave was as good as in any barbershop but yes, Gillette Shaving Foam fragrance lasts for a longer time.
I thought of having a head/shoulders/arms/back massage but it was costly so I skipped it.
Anyway, for a clean shave in Rishikesh, I paid Rs. 50 only.
Head/Shoulders/Arms/Back Massage maybe next time.

Ramphal – A Famous Fruit of Rishikesh
Ramphal – A Famous Fruit of Rishikesh – This photo was taken at Swarg Ashram near Gita Bhawan in Rishikesh (Uttarakhand)
Ramphal is sweet, sour, tasty and is good for digestion, beneficial for diabetes patients, and fulfills the deficiency of blood in the body.
Here in Rishikesh, you will get 5 pieces of this fruit for 20 rupees.
It is believed that in Treta Yuga when Lord Rama killed Ravana – a Brahmin, he was accused of Brahmahatya, for which he came for removal to Rishikesh. Lord Rama tasted this fruit here. Due to this reason, this fruit came to be called Ramphal.
You will get this fruit almost 12 months a year.
Do try this delicious fruit if you happen to visit Rishikesh.
