Hot Towel Shave

About this service

A traditional barbershop shave, done unhurried. Hot towels soften the beard, lather goes on warm, and the shave is worked with the grain and then refined. It finishes with a cool towel to close everything down. It is a good choice before a wedding, an interview or any morning you want to feel sharp.

What's included

• Hot towel prep to soften the beard
• Warm lather and straight-razor shave
• Second pass for a close finish
• Cool towel and aftershave finish

Common questions

How long does a hot towel shave take?

Thirty minutes. The prep is a real part of the service, not something we skip when the shop is busy.

Will it irritate my skin?

Tell your barber if your skin is sensitive or you get razor bumps. They will adjust the pass direction and the products used.

How often can I get one?

Most clients book one for a specific occasion, though some come every couple of weeks.
