Tobacco smoke and shaving soap.
The traditional smells of a barbers shop - along with burnt hair.
You may not know this, but singeing has been used for centuries to remove stray hairs. Originally this technique was also used as a sealant in hair cuts by Turkish barbers, who believed that hair was a living, breathing part of the body. When it was cut, they felt it was bleeding, so to put it out of it’s pain and misery they would singe it!
This dramatic technique, sees a lit taper or wand being brought into contact with the hair.
