| - I decided to shave my head for the first time, so I did some internet research and found The Art of Shaving in the Scottsdale Fashion Mall. Yes it is pricey ($90 including tip for head shave and royal goatee shave), but I was willing to pop at least once for what appeared to be the best, and Erick, their master barber, filled the bill. I spent an hour in the chair with Erick shaving every surface of my head twice, trimming nearly every follicle individually to shape a perfect goatee, the best it has ever looked. The "royal" treatment also included a mud facial, rose water eye pads, kind of embarrassing to do with my girlfriend watching, but my skin has never looked better. Prior to going in, I had just let my hair and beard grow into mountain-man mode, and I knew I wanted it groomed differently, but wasn't really sure what I wanted. Other barbers when faced with mountain man have never really been confident enough to create a look, and I am not one to look through magazines trying to identify the perfect goatee for me. I was glad to find someone (a "master" barber wearing a black tie) who knew exactly what to do, and in the end, he left my goatee longer and well shaped, which I really liked.
