Hot Towel Straight Razor Shave

A traditional hot towel straight razor shave from a licensed barber.

The hot towel shave is a traditional barbershop service. Your barber applies hot towels to open the pores and soften the beard, works in a brush-applied lather, and then shaves slowly with the grain, refining against the grain only where your skin allows.

The service is finished with cool towels, aftershave, and a moisturizer. The appointment takes about an hour.

If you have never had a professional straight razor shave, this is the service we recommend starting with.
