make it in US dollars; also mention the kind of services you could get at your barber shop;
for me; my average expenditure behind haircut goes about two dollars ~ 160 rupees per month, and i get to sit in an AC cooled shop (kinda have to mention it because not all barbers here can afford ACs and it gets reflected in their service charges), get to read almost all available newspapers, get to listen to new songs on FM radio or sometimes even getting glimpses of live cricket match on TV there,
for haircut and so a young barber does it all with quite a lot of different scissors and electric hair clipper, he does that all quite speedily and applies some sweet smelling powder on my neck after cleaning remnants of hairs using brush
overall damn good service for that price,
as for shaving, i do it myself, i use old school safety razor with those rectangular blades for that, mine looks something like this
i don't remember how much i paid for this maybe it was 80 some rupees more than a decade ago, still works
blades i get a pack of 10 for 50 rupees in today's price; and must say these blades have gone costlier than past but one blade works good enough for maybe 10 days (giving i use all sides with each blades) so it's still cheaper than getting it shaved at barber shop - could be charging 50 rupees ~ 61 cents
for shaving cream i used randomly whatever i find cheaper at stores as they all same, nowadays i use this brand
it has about 50 some rupees ~ 61 cents printed on it but sold in shops for 30 rupees ~ 37 cents and one tube lasts for good one full year lol
i don't use aftershave just wash my face with whatever soap i have
so there's some basic estimation of cost of personal grooming, shaving et al for me;
of course people do get luxurious services in those big 'salon' and all for much higher prices but not my cup of tea - even then i believe average pro barbershop here costs some 500 rupees ~ 6.11 dollars for haircut and maybe 250 some rupees ~ 3.01 for shaving-trimming etc beard work and if you get other basic facial and so all of it could cost 1000-1200 rupees ~ 14 and half dollars maximum
so there you have it, how is barber shop experience in your place ? what are general quotes ? how is prices inflation regd barber services at your place ? what could you get there as service ? if you do it on your own then at what expenses ?
I'd also like to mention in many low tier barbershops here barbers would shave your armpit pubes for free if you get haircut from them,of course you have to ask them to do your armpits, they just consider it part of same thing
