In some states, what are barbers required to use during a shaving service?

  1. A new blade for every client

  2. A face mask

  3. Protective gloves

  4. Antibacterial soap

The correct answer is: Protective gloves

Barbers are required to use protective gloves during a shaving service in some states because they are coming into direct contact with their clients' skin. A new blade for every client is not necessary as long as they are properly sterilized and sanitized. Face masks are also not required for shaving services, unless the barber is necessary to wear one due to the specific state's regulations and guidelines. Antibacterial soap is important for maintaining hygiene, but it is not a requirement specifically for shaving services. Therefore, the most appropriate and necessary option for barbers to use during a shaving service is protective gloves.
