EN: to get a shave; to have someone shave you
This is what your Lolo does at the local barbershop on a Saturday morning. It's not just a shave, it's a ritual—complete with the hot towel, the straight razor, and all the local chismis. It's the act of letting someone else do the grooming, a small luxury. It can also mean getting your armpits or legs waxed/shaved at a salon.
The 'magpa-' prefix is causative, meaning you cause someone else to perform the action (shaving) on you. 'Mag-ahit' means to shave yourself.
