Shaving and hanging out at the barbers...

Was listening to BBC Radio 4 earlier and this caught my ear which I thought was not only interesting but worth the share.

"Britain and find out why shaving and hanging out at the barbers was the thing to do three hundred years ago."

That was a thing in Turkey when I was kid and I think it still is in some local barbershops. Most barbers in Turkey have gone upmarket nowadays.

All sorts of `man gossip` went down in there.
