On my travels when working away from home i used to love getting a shave in many different 'Cities' set you up for the day,not many of the old 'barbers do it nowadays,but most of the Asian' ones do,one of my sons uses one on Ilkeston rd.Hot towels the lot,think i might try em.

Did'nt know that Ray.,they used to be the 'mace' wholesaler,i think 'bookers' were 'spar' and Gibsons were VG,who i worked for.
