clean again

So I had my head shaved and it was quite an experience. The barber to my left shaved it. He said it would be 35 ruppess less than one Ameirican Dollar for the face and head shave. He did an amazing job. The barber in Kerela just took a razor blade and went for it, no wetting the hair or anything and was a painful experience. This was quite different. He gave me a head massage used spray bottle of water, different lathers and oils, and afterwards he gave me a body massage shoulders, back, arms, neck and so forth of the course of an hour. It was quite an experience. After he shaved my head with two razors I said maybe keep the beard, and he said no French look, clean look is good look for you. I asked him how much and he said as you like, this is typical in India. I paid him 90 ruppees, 2 American and had some photos taken. I liked this one because it captures the outer crazyness of India that is okay here, but elsewhere might be percieved as weird.
