Kenric’s been talking about needing a haircut for weeks. Today, a few minutes after we walked past a barbershop, we stopped and turned around. There were two other men waiting. We were told to come back at 6:15. When we came back, we waited for another two customers to get done. The barber works really fast.


We now call him Edward Scissorhands, but watching him work made me want Teppanyaki for dinner. He gave Kenric his first straight razor shave. As a finishing touch, he sprayed some alcohol-based stuff all over Kenric’s face while pinching his nose shut. “Don’t open your eyes!”


When he was done he exclaimed, “Transformation!” A Sisanje for ten Bosnian Marks, and a Brijanje for five Bosnian Marks. That’s USD $9.02.
