Step by step, the way a shave should feel
It starts with a hot towel laid over your face to soften the beard and open things up. Then warm lather is worked in, and the barber shaves with a straight razor, moving with the grain rather than against it. A cool towel closes the pores, a light finish goes on, and you sit back for a minute before you get up. Nothing about it is rushed — that is the point of doing it in the chair instead of over your own sink.
A treat, a pre-event polish, or a pairing
A hot towel shave is a good treat on its own, a sharp move before a wedding, interview, or photo, and a natural add-on to a haircut. It is a close, traditional shave, and the barber works with your skin and the grain of your beard as they go. If you want your neckline and cheeks handled together, say so when you sit down — the barbers here, Ivan and Michael, will set it up.
Straight razor shaves, answered
You settle back in the chair while a hot towel softens your beard, then warm lather goes on and the barber shaves with a straight razor. It finishes with a cool towel and a light finish, and the whole thing is meant to be unhurried.
Plan for a relaxed sitting rather than a quick pass. The towels, lather, and careful straight-razor work take time by design, so it is best booked when you are not rushing off somewhere.
The barber works with your skin and the grain of your beard, shaving with the grain for a close but gentle result. If your skin runs sensitive, tell your barber at the start so they can adjust their approach.
Yes — a hot towel shave pairs naturally with a fresh cut. Mention it when you book or check in so the chair time is set aside for both.
