    Bruh this man prepared your lather on the side of a kitchen pot, shaved your forehead, wet your head with a watering can, and shampooed your hair with a bar of soap...
    ...and I loved every second of it. Great video as always Harry. Thanks for taking us to the places we don't see on normal travel shows. This is where the real culture shines.

      The barber is using the soap & natural vinegar to wash his hair because most of shampoos & conditioners are full of chemicals & harsh on scalp & hair.
      Gentle soap would clean the hair perfectly & rinsing with natural vinegar will soften the textures hair & give healthy glow as well!
      It is well known Korean natural remedies.

      The pot isn't to lather the shaving cream. It's a pot of hot water, and spreading the cream over the large surface area heats it up. It creates the towels too.
