This is a great little place where you can get a quick and close shave for 10 Lira. The staff is all dressed up in white smocks and this lends the whole shaving-undertaking some great credibility. (Almost as if they are physicians or surgeons who have mastered the art of handling a sharp blade ;-)
I arrived relatively early on a weekday morning and was seated immediately. The barber lathered up my face with foam, let it sit for a minute and then started shaving. He was very precise and I especially appreciated when he applied a second round of foam to make sure that all stubbles had been eliminated.
After the shave, he washed my face thoroughly and then massaged some nice-smelling lotion onto my face...mmmh that felt good!
