How They Shave The Eyes

In a leading report, it was revealed as to how the barbers rinse their sharp blade in the same water that they use to shave the clients heads. Then, they hold the client's eyes open with their left hand, while they use the right one to glide the knife back and forth on the inside of their eyelids and then on the eyeball. Sounds painful, right?

It Does Not End There…

The report also stated, "He then grabs a metal rod, inserts it under the person's upper eyelid and slides it left and right like a windshield wiper. He repeats the process for the lower eyelid, and when he's done, Liu moves to the other eye. The whole eye-scraping process takes about 5 minutes, and by the end, the client's face is streaming with tears."
