The demon barber of Eceabat

Eceabat, Turkey

I decided to get a haircut today. I figured a half-balding guy in a one horse town should be a great barber. It was only once I was trapped in the chair and he had a cut-throat razor in his hand that I realised I was right next to the battlefields of Gallipoli and maybe my grandfather killed his grandfather (except my grandfather was never in Gallipoli but he doesn't know that).

I survived the razor only to be confronted by a lit cigarette lighter, which he proceeded to stick in my ears! First one then the other.

Try getting that sort of service at Toni & Guy.
