Duncan remembers teaching himself with his late father\u2019s old razor (with some painful results), while Hayley recalls a disastrous school trend involving shaving eyebrows that left half the class looking permanently surprised. From there it drifts into the strange rituals of barbers, luxurious hot-towel shaves, Turkish barbers wielding cut-throat razors, and the oddly relaxing intimacy of being pampered in a barber\u2019s chair or spa. Naturally the chat wanders further afield: childhood bath routines, \u201cspit washes\u201d in the street, paper underwear disasters, and the surprising things people will pay for on the internet. The episode ends with a trip to one of everyone\u2019s least favourite places \u2014 the dentist \u2014 with memories of braces, fillings, childhood dental trauma, and the lingering smell of antiseptic and toothpaste in the waiting room. Another rambling mix of awkward memories, strange experiences and the small details from growing up that never quite leave you. Get in Touch with Us!
