Any reccomendations in Santiago for a place to get a classic barbershop shave? Straight razor, hot towel, hot lather, etc. Thank you.

Excellent, excellent shave. I highly reccomend this place. The guy didn`t miss any spots. Super close and super smooth shave. I felt like a million bucks. Only $180 RD. Back home a shave costs me $13 US.

Is there one in Caberete that offers this? I've never had one and would love to experience it.

BTW, I've never heard of a shave being offered in the US.

I pay 100 pesos here ... the barber already knows my skin blind and drunk ;)
Furing the 45 minutes I spend in the barber chair there (of which about 20 are spent on the actual procedure) I also get most up to date information on recent chismes, rumors, local happenings, all kind of information about fulanos and fulanas, hear some nice jokes etc.

There is a good barber shop in SD on Pasteur (Gazcue) with Santiago, in the commercial plaza, just by the Chinese restaurant.

Really nice inside, professional treatment, and you can even cheer yourself up with some scotch before or after the shave.

It's RD$150 for shave and hairwash, hot towel, and skin mask and massage administered by a nice joven and all the stuff ...
