A Close Shave

I was loitering in Korgaon in northern Goa when I descried the village barber Apa Korgaonkar in action. Armed with my wide angle 14 mm lens, I decided to go head-to-head with Apa’s weapons.

For 15 minutes I watched the proceedings, with my lens barely 8″ or so away.

Very nice use of a wide-angle!

What about the gratis ‘maleesh’ that ended the haircut and shave that was a Bombay speciality? Do they do it in Goa too?

Are traditional barbers in Goa medicine-men as well?
