I have always used Gillette Shaving Foam, especially in Mumbai Suburban, for a clean shave at an air-conditioned barbershop. And I pay Rs. 80.
But this time, during the tour to Delhi, one of the barbers at Daryaganj applied Brooks Shaving Foam and charged Rs. 30.
And another barber at Arakashan Road, Paharganj, Delhi, I paid Rs. 50 for Gillette Shaving Foam clean shave.
At Chawri Bazar, Delhi, I paid Rs. 40 for a Gillette Shaving Foam clean shave.
When I reached Zirakpur, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (Mohali), my cousin’s brother took me to a barbershop that was non-air-conditioned but a good one.
The barber applied Cimelle Shaving Foam for a clean shave and charged Rs. 40 only.
Now I have experienced three types of shaving foam – Gillette, Brooks, and Cimelle. The difference?
No idea. All I can say – a clean shave was as good as in a Mumbai Suburban barbershop.
