    Tiger Leung has made a career out of cutting hair and giving clean shaves. For over 50 years, he has run his traditional barbershop in Hong Kong with a focus on an old-school approach to his craft. While similar shops have gradually faded away and closed over the years, Leung is determined to keep his business open for as long as he can. But today his customers are not only long-time clients who have become his good friends. Thanks to the attention his shop has received on social media, Leung's business is getting attention from a whole new generation.

    Actually he was showing some serious techniques there. The way he was fading and curling, my gosh, I don’t think most salons have people who can do it like that. I think it just comes with 50 years of experience, he has literally seen it all.

    I've been cutting my own hair for the last 10 years (male)...i use professional Wahl trimmer with different heads. I don't cut my hair short. But use different techniques to trim my hair in different levels I would say 10 cm top. The back is the most difficult to do by yourself. I learned to do it by feeling.
