Its not something that is available usually where I live, but the next town over, every barber seems to have a 'Wet Shave Wednesday' offer going on...
I'll be over on Wednesday anyway, as I have an appointment with someone, but I'm thinking of popping down afterwards, and giving it a go...
I'm 44, and have realised I've never had one ! So... Worth it or not?

Worth it for sure ! It's awesome. I went once. They wash the face, put the hot towel on face to soften the skin for better work with the razor. I asked to put my beard /that time/ in shape and they even worked around the forehead and backend beards with the razor too - in order to get rid of imperfections and to achieve symmetry - then they used alum, and several other stuff /including powder and aftershave.
It's very cool procedure, it takes over 15 mins / especially if the barber is a talkative.
Probably that's how the women feel after they visit hairdresser, but this is more manly and you feel cool afterwards. The result -
You cannot achieve cleaner and softer and maybe better shave by yourself, you feel everything with your face and it's awesome as result. Go ahead - and try it.
