If you wake up every morning and think, "My t-shirts are so dull, I wish I had interesting clothes...", you need to have a look at my online shop.
Japanese Barbers are great.
A quick transcript of the conversation I had with my barber just as I was about to leave:
Barber: Do you have an umbrella?
Me: No, is it raining? (look outside, it's not)
Barber: Ah, wait a second
Barber runs off through the back, comes back with an umbrella.
Barber: Please, take this.
Me: But it's not raining.
Barber: Ah, but it might.
Me: No, really, it's okay, I live just round the corner.
Barber: (looking sad) Please? You don't even need to bring it back.
I took the umbrella. He also gave me a hairbrush.

I love it, he's just looking after his work! He doesn't give a toss about you but he has a reputation to keep up, and he's clearly determined to look after that haircut he gave you...
That and the fact that you now feel so indebted to him that you'll never dare use another barber ever again.
