- 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
The original visit is still one of my favourite videos on your channel.
Love watching this experienced old man do his thing!
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!
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.
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!
If he would stand there mixing shaving cream and swapping out steam towels for an hour, I would watch it. ASMR tingles galore.
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!
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!
The attention to detail is insane literally unmatchable he really made sure zero hair was left on your face
I love it when Harry speaks some Japanese! Great classic haircut video. Well done both of you.
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 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!!!❤
This is a weird sentence but this is probably the best skin pulling in a shave i've ever seen.
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 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 ❤😅
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.
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.
The Japanese barbers are some of the most amazing barbers ever and arguably your best videos! God bless, Harry! 🙏🏼
The legend himself! What a treat at the midnight. Thanks Harry. Would love to see Shimomae-san haircut style as well in the future.
Thank you again harry for taking us on these adventures I love every second of it much love to you and the crew! ❤
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 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!
Of all your videos, your first one with him, I never get tired of watching. I'm glad you revisited him.👍
So glad to see another round with him ! Thank you Harry for posting !
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. 😁
He was 78 in the other video with him published 3 years ago how is he still 78 the man never ages 😂
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.
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!
There is STILL something very satisfying about being a man and watching another man shave some other man
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! 😅😌
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!! 🎉🎊🙌🏼
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!
Thanks again Harry. Just what I needed to start my week. Cheers!
Yes!!!!!!! This barber was the first Haircut Harry video I ever watched. Glad he's back 👍💈
Another amazing second-hand experience from this gentleman. It's good to see he's still kicking and being awesome.
These revisits feels like seeing old friends! Thank you!
the second pass with just water is heavenly
Very relaxing and his attention to his work is outstanding
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!
It's always awesome when you go back to past barbers Harry. Awesome content as always.
Yes finally. Glad to see this og is alive and well.
So glad he is doing well! The last video was great, and this sequel is wonderful as well!
Awesome, awesome video. Revisiting one of my favorite barbers from your collection. Thanks very much for doing this. This made my day!
I love this barber! Thank you for returning to his shop. 👍
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.
So satisfying watching something being done well
Great to see you again in this saloon! Thank you for visiting Shimomae-san, @HairCutHarry!
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
A true craftsman! Thank you for uploading…
Now, that is a truly close shave
I love seeing these full circle videos!
the master was back again!! I love all of his the videos of his!
So glad to see him still about. Time flies!
Glad to see him again, thank you
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!!
Thank you for another beautiful video
That was so relaxing and what a classy gentleman.
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!!
The craft. The experience. The Method... Sensei style. Superb ❤
Thanks Harry. I have peace while watching your videos. Come to Vienna.
Back again. Awesome 😁👍
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.
the goat returns!
Absolute legend of his art!💈
He leaves no stone unturned. Great job
海外の兄弟!はるばる日本まで来てくれてありがとう!
The comeback ! 🔥
Relaxed just watching
This makes my heart happy.
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!
One of my favorite barbers on this channel
Great Video. Very relaxing. The most impressive part for me is that he doesn’t need to wear glasses to do the close shave!
(Rafiki voice) The king...has returned
The legend is back
Yet another masterpiece
Quien iba a decir que yo iba a seguir vivo para ver una segunda parte de mi vídeo favorito de ASMR, ❤, gracias Harry, esa barba me regaló muchas noches de relax
i was waiting this moment from long times
Best shave I've ever seen
OMG My favourite barber, I just love this mans way of shaving, he does a beautiful job
MY FAVORITE EVER!!! Ok, I'm just starting it but I hope the powder box is intact!
You went back !!!
Yes please!! I would love to get this relaxing treatment!! 😮
Congratulations for 500k sub Harry. 🎉 Thanks your video always help me sleep when I can't.😊
Thank you so much 🙏🏼❤️ So exciting to see this milestone!! 🎊🎉🙌🏼
Love it Harry!
This is grooming, pure and simple.
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.
The goat has returned once again
I was hoping you would see Mr. Shimomae again! The first video was 👌🏽🔥!
Asmr for sure love this guy and his mannerisms great shave video
Incredible. Truly incredible. The man has an iron will, and shaving skills to match at the age of 78.
He stayed 78 for three years? I am very impressed.
I think Barbering is the key to immortality. Nobody ages in your videos. 😮
Japan has great culture ,their work ethics are great in world, they are disciplined but in their own way, love to Japan❤
The return of a legend.
You went back. Cool 👍🏻
