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.
