After seeing several good reviews on here I thought I would try out the Erdington Relax Centre for my first FBSM outside of the Orient.
External Link/Members OnlyParking is decent as there are several residential roads off Station Road.
The setup is not great as there is only a curtain between the massage room and the reception. I opted for a full body massage for 1 hour, and after a few minutes the masseuse answered the door to let another lady in. They then talked through the curtain for several minutes in Mandarin, which was off-putting.
The masseuse was not that attractive. She was probably mid-40s and quite curvy and saggy.
After about 20 minutes I was offered B2B which I opted for (not sure why...) for an additional £40, making £80 in total.
Another punter came into the shop not long after that started, talking loudly about his back. The B2B was quite lazy. She just lay on top of me really. None of it was on my back.
After I came, there was still 20 minutes left. I thought that I would get a massage for another 20 minutes but instead I was ushered to the shower. I tried to negotiate a discount on the basis that I hadn't had anywhere near a full hour, but she refused and I just couldn't be bothered to argue the point. To make things worse, on my way out I had to walk straight past the next punter. Obviously she had rushed me on so that she could get to him as quickly as possible.
Either this was a terrible experience, or these things just aren't for me (or both).
