When you get a professional shave, you're getting a shave that's done by someone who knows what they're doing. The barber has experience and skill in using a straight razor, which allows them to get much closer to the skin without causing irritation.

Barbers are licensed to cut, color, perm, shampoo, and style hair, and provide shaves. They may use tools like scissors, clippers, razors, and combs.

Clearly some kind of “powdery” element is important (critical?) to a barbershop scent. Pinaud Clubman aftershave is also a common scent element. It's worth noting that Pinaud Clubman in itself is a combination scent. Most agree it's made up of citrus (lemon, orange) and floral (mostly lavender) notes over musky base.

While barbering can be a rewarding career, it can also be physically and mentally demanding. Long hours of standing, high levels of concentration, and dealing with difficult customers can lead to stress and burnout. Some barbers may quit due to these challenges, or because they want to pursue different career paths.
