I'm looking to get a professional straight razor shave.

Is this common at most barber shops/salons?

I've only had one haircut in Korea and it was W6000. Pretty sure that place doesn't offer shaves.

I used to regularly get shaves in my old neighbourhood. It was more expensive than a haircut--about manwon. But I found it very worthwhile--the lady would put hot cloths on my face, massage my forehead, etc. Is was a whole big, relaxing, deal.

You won't be able to get a shave in any barber shop that has a bunch of girls working at it. I noticed this place because it had a male owner (his wife did the shaves). Try and find a Mom and Pop place. Say myeondohae jusayo.

I'd rather get a facial then a shave, but each to their own.
