Often. My best experience, this summer on the island of Tinos in greece. Waiting for a boat i asked a local woman where to go and she said there was only the old traditional guy - so i went. Great old place - daguerreotypes of his relatives, old mirror, antique barber chair, birds in a cage - you get the picture - and a 100 year old barber. After the cut he lathered me up took out the straight edge blade and with shaking hands gave me a really (too) close shave! I think he had parkinsons. Later i saw the woman who sent me there and said thanks, but i thought the barber was getting perhaps too old and shaky to use the razor. Her reply: "I know - we are all just waiting for a disaster to happen!"

Travel is a wonder.
