Roadmap
Stage 1: Initial Playthroughs + Miscellaneous Trophies
For this guide and its trophies, the first thing you will need to do is to complete the level on Master Difficulty and Shave Everyone. Doing this will give you three trophies at the same time. If you are a beginner, it is recommended to play on Casual/Professional a few times and then play on Master. Or, if you have already completed the other missions on Master, this will be your next mission on Master Difficulty. These are the trophies that you will unlock: Pirate Hunter, Babyface, Street Smart. And finally, complete the Cleaning the Streets and Busy Schedule trophies.In this level, you will start with your normal equipment again. A cutscene will start ( to skip it), and after the cutscene, you can walk freely across the map. This mission can be completed with mission stories, challenges, or normal.
Complete Chasing a Ghost.
Wipe out Kale and Shah with the train, Kale and Rangan with a cement pipe, and Rangan with the fan.
Shave everybody.

Babyface Shave everybody. |

For this trophy, you’ll need to shave everybody with a beard (not everyone in the city, only those who come to the barber shop). The trophy description is a little misleading. Disguise as the barber that's upstairs in the barber shop. Open the shop and start shaving people. You need to shave 15 people. You can press to end the shave faster. Don't press ! The Maelstrom will come here to get a shave. Don’t kill him before finishing the shave, or it won’t count and you’ll be stuck at 14. Shave him, let him go, and continue shaving other people.
