- It was such a pleasure to see Shimomae-san again in Kyoto 🇯🇵 We are happy he is doing well! ❤️🙌🏼
Do you remember Mr. Shimomae? You can watch our original shave video with him here👇🏼
• 💈 Traditional Japanese...
Mr. Shimomae was 78 years old when we filmed with him and told us he didn’t need eyeglasses yet 🤓 He is now 79 years old, and has been barbering for 60+ years. He began when he was 15 years old and learned from his father who owned this shop. So Mr. Shimomae has been here ever since.
For the past 17 years, he’s been writing a daily blog post ✍🏼 He writes his thoughts about Kyoto, the world, and daily life. Of course, he has seen many changes throughout the years in Kyoto…
What is Mr. Shimomae’s life advice?
“Not rejecting people who come, not chasing after people who leave is best.” -Kunihiro Shimomae
He says that’s always how he tries to live. “People who leave have a reason for that, so you should let them go.”
Mr. Shimomae is happy that customers visit him after seeing the original video we filmed with him in 2019! 😊 He shows his customers a note stating the following:
“Welcome back. How did you find out about my shop?"
"I have been working as a hairdresser for 63 years. I am 78 years old now. I haven’t built up enough career, but I may not be able to cut your hair to your liking. If you ask me to leave it to you, I will do my best to create your hair and give you a pleasant shave."
"I’m 78 now, but when I was younger, I was good at cutting hair and was able to get the job done quickly. It’s a pity I didn’t have a connection with you when I was young.”
What Mr. Shimomae enjoys most about his work is when customers are satisfied and feel good! 💈❤️

We are so happy we got to visit Mr. Shimomae again! ❤🙌🏼 Do you remember him? You can watch our original video with Mr. Shimomae here👇🏼

Mr. Shimomae was my introduction to Haircut Harry!
That's so awesome!
Harry, Don't forget to put shave in the title so this video comes up when people search youtube for shave videos. Thanks
One of my first videos I watched from you :)
of course! the best shave ever!
Omg another of this barber. His original shave video is the most relaxing thing I've ever seen. Thank you for posting more with this man!!
I 100 percent agree. I ran into his first video and it was so satisfyingly relaxing. I would watch it at night and fall asleep while watching it. I know If I was there getting a shave by him. I would fall asleep there too. That man is thorough and takes his time.
Yes! I thought the same… great barber, years of experience
He was 78 in the other video with him published 3 years ago how is he still 78 the man never ages 😂
The original visit is still one of my favourite videos on your channel.
Love watching this experienced old man do his thing!
Wonderful. I can’t remember the number of times I’ve watched his original video. Everything in his store seems exactly like it was, even his actions in performing the pre-shave with the towels. So glad he’s doing well.
Agreed! I've watched the original video countless times. 👍
I’m a student barber in Chicago and just came across this channel. These are all masters, sheesh. Love the channel man. Hope one day I can be as good as any of these barbers in the videos.
I was here today (12/18/23). He is truly amazing and the nicest gentlemen. Thank you Harry for introducing me to him. It was a highlight of my Kyoto trip. I will be back!
Am so glad to see him still being lively and healthy! Thanks for giving us an update on him through this video Harry! Great job!
Inspired by your first video, when I visited Japan earlier this year I went to Mr. Shimomae's shop! He was wonderful, absolutely polite, and absolutely would recommend checking out his shop. Thanks for these videos, and glad you went back to visit Mr. Shimomae!
If he would stand there mixing shaving cream and swapping out steam towels for an hour, I would watch it. ASMR tingles galore.
His first video is probably the first I watched from your channel, I'm glad to see him doing great, his letter to you was very touching, what a kind soul he is🥺
I wish him many years of good health and all the happiness of the world.
Thanks for going back Harry, this is a lovely gift 🙏
I love it when Harry speaks some Japanese! Great classic haircut video. Well done both of you.
Whatever he charges I'm sure it isnt enough and needs to be doubled! That was the most exceptionally thorough shave I have seen to this date. He's a master...and the ASMR tingles were off the charts!
本当にプロですよね、下前さんは。
以前の動画も好きだったので、再訪はかなり嬉しいです。
もう一度訪ねてくれてありがとうございます。
The attention to detail is insane literally unmatchable he really made sure zero hair was left on your face
I instantly recognized his face on the thumbnail, the man who wants everyone to sign a map! Glad to see another video with him and he is still doing well 🥰
Glad to see him fine and well, never a bad time after watching your videos!!!❤
First in again. We remember this man, and those life words are ones to live by from your earlier post. Great to see him again and still going strong. Thanks again Harry.
This is a weird sentence but this is probably the best skin pulling in a shave i've ever seen.
The man the myth the legend..he is back..cant get enough of his original video 3 years ago n now add one more classic!! Thanks harry to visit this gem of a person again..fun fact: he was was 78 years old in ur original video n still 78 years after 3 years..he isnt ageing isnt he ❤😅
The original is still, by far, one of my top 5 favorite videos you've ever done. So glad you went back to visit. Thank you so much for this!
The Japanese barbers are some of the most amazing barbers ever and arguably your best videos! God bless, Harry! 🙏🏼
I had a realization about another aspect of these videos that I like. There's almost a paternal aspect to getting a shave a lot of the time. And there's something very comforting about that.
i was wandering what happened to him since the video you did. i’m glad you re visited him and he’s still around to make smooth shaven. Thumbs up Mr. Shimomae👍🏻
So happy you went back. This barber is a legend. An artist of his craft.
The most remarkable thing is, this guy was 78 years old 3 years ago in the first video... and he kept his age 💪😎
The Japanese are so impressive.
Nope, Harry updates the title every year on this barber's request. So what you see there is his current age, ofc it's still impressive... Though I'm not a fan of this Japanese mentality but, you know, to each his own.
The legend himself! What a treat at the midnight. Thanks Harry. Would love to see Shimomae-san haircut style as well in the future.
Of all your videos, your first one with him, I never get tired of watching. I'm glad you revisited him.👍
What a pity! I went to the place last Monday and did not know that the shop is closed on Mondays. Many other barbers are also closed on that day in Kyoto. So make sure you visit on another day!!
Thank you again harry for taking us on these adventures I love every second of it much love to you and the crew! ❤
海外の兄弟！はるばる日本まで来てくれてありがとう！
So glad to see another round with him ! Thank you Harry for posting !
Mr. Shimomae is the best barber I've seen in my live. @Harry you made my day by coming back to see him in Kyoto. Million thanks, man!
Best regards from Catalonia.
Harry congratulations on 500k!!!! That’s a tremendous milestone and I’m really proud to be a part of your community. Thank you for doing what you do!💗💗💗
THANK YOU so much 🙏🏼❤️ We are so excited to see this incredible milestone!! 🎉🎊🙌🏼
There is STILL something very satisfying about being a man and watching another man shave some other man
the goat returns!
Yes finally. Glad to see this og is alive and well.
I think I've watched the original video over twenty times. I could always relax and nod off with it. Couldn't believe it when I saw this upload, thanks for another masterpiece!
He has the skillful motions and precise hands of a talented sculptor. His movements with the towels and his shop remind me of a Disney character in the best possible way. 😁
Now, that is a truly close shave
Thanks Harry. I have peace while watching your videos. Come to Vienna.
Awesome, awesome video. Revisiting one of my favorite barbers from your collection. Thanks very much for doing this. This made my day!
I saw your message Harry and the words really resonated with my life at the moment. I’ve had alot of people come and go for various reasons and I needed to see and hear those. Looking forward to the video and continual guidance! 😅😌
Thanks again Harry. Just what I needed to start my week. Cheers!
These revisits feels like seeing old friends! Thank you!
Very relaxing and his attention to his work is outstanding
For my Japan trip, I already booked a trip to Maeta. I'm spending the last half of my trip in Kyoto and I want to meet this gentleman. I'll see what I can do. You find the most amazing places.
Yes!!!!!!! This barber was the first Haircut Harry video I ever watched. Glad he's back 👍💈
The comeback ! 🔥
Another amazing second-hand experience from this gentleman. It's good to see he's still kicking and being awesome.
(Rafiki voice) The king...has returned
Great to see you again in this saloon! Thank you for visiting Shimomae-san, @HairCutHarry!
I remember him from the first video😊 that one and this one are just amazing, it must have been a great experience of relaxation. Thank you Harry!
So satisfying watching something being done well
I love this barber! Thank you for returning to his shop. 👍
I went to visit his shop, not long after I saw your video. I'm so pleased to see that he's doing well and his business is thriving!
In Japan everything is done with a certain level of elegance and accuracy that you just don't see in the West. Great to see it in full effect here in the form of this rather fine barber.
the second pass with just water is heavenly
A true craftsman! Thank you for uploading…
It's always awesome when you go back to past barbers Harry. Awesome content as always.
Glad to see him again, thank you
So glad he is doing well! The last video was great, and this sequel is wonderful as well!
Once again Harry proves why he is the KING! Amazing Barbering skills from a true master of the craft. 💈✂♥👍
I love watching a master at their trade and when he’s shaving against the grain you see the decades of experience in those hands!!
the master was back again!! I love all of his the videos of his!
Back again. Awesome 😁👍
Yeeessss, I had a feeling you would return to him, when I saw you were back in Japan.
Glad to see he still with us
The craft. The experience. The Method... Sensei style. Superb ❤
So glad to see him still about. Time flies!
I love seeing these full circle videos!
That was so relaxing and what a classy gentleman.
THE GOAT
Thank you for another beautiful video
The legend is back
Best shave I've ever seen
He leaves no stone unturned. Great job
The goat has returned once again
One of my favorite barbers on this channel
This makes my heart happy.
Relaxed just watching
Yet another masterpiece
Great Video. Very relaxing. The most impressive part for me is that he doesn’t need to wear glasses to do the close shave!
Yes I remember him. So relaxing
What is the tool he uses after the straight razor please? He doesn't use any soap with it.
Absolute legend of his art!💈
i was waiting this moment from long times
Japan so nice 🤩
He stayed 78 for three years? I am very impressed.
I think Barbering is the key to immortality. Nobody ages in your videos. 😮
Love it Harry!
Holy moly, this guy is my go to video from Harry! I loved watching this guy and that weird tool. I use it to go to sleep so often. +haha I'm so happy; thank you!
MY FAVORITE EVER!!! Ok, I'm just starting it but I hope the powder box is intact!
The return of a legend.
Great to see you back there harry and that you changed things in his life for the better. Hope you also revisit Ireland again in the near future.
He really makes sure to leave no hairs behind! Enjoyed this video very much.
Harry pozdrawiam z Polski🖐🤟....kocham podejscie tego starszego pana do pracy !szanuje tych starszych fachowców i ich umiejetnosci...👏
Japan has great culture ,their work ethics are great in world, they are disciplined but in their own way, love to Japan❤

No follicle unturned with this one
Very thorough
This is grooming, pure and simple.
OMG My favourite barber, I just love this mans way of shaving, he does a beautiful job
