This traditional barber is one of the vanishing trade,found in the sidelane of Chinatown, offered full services beside haircut, shaving, ear-cleaning & it's cheap, so no complain..and ofcourse outdated movie magazines,comics and newspapers to while away your time. These paper were regulars customers including me.
