A BARBER from Stanford-le-Hope is to go head-to-head with others in the region to be named the South East Best Wet Shaving Barber.
If Baris Ferah, from Mr Snips Gentleman’s Barbershop, Corringham Road, wins the award, he’ll then go on to the national final and compete against seven other wet shaving experts in a special speed shaving tournament inside a boxing ring at Barber Connect 2014.
The South East regional final will take place in London in February, where Baris will be judged on a number of criteria including preparation, razor technique and after shave routine.
Baris said: “I got into the barbering industry because it has been in my family for generations. I grew up in a traditional Turkish barbers in England as well as in Turkey, with the desire I learnt from my Dad and my Grandad.”
