The Traditional Straight-Razor Shave

The Traditional Straight Razor Shave

Some parts of traditional barbering are worth preserving.

Our Traditional Straight Razor Shave is an old-school grooming experience built around preparation, precision, and the unmistakably clean finish of a straight razor.

The service begins with a hot towel, allowing the warmth and steam to soften the facial hair and prepare the skin for a comfortable shave.

Next, we apply pre-shave oil to condition the skin and beard while creating an additional layer of protection before the razor ever touches your face. A rich layer of shaving lather is then worked into the area, further softening the hair and preparing it for the shave.

From there, your barber performs the shave using traditional straight razor techniques, working carefully across the contours of the face and neckline for a close, precise, and exceptionally clean result.

Once the shave is complete, we finish with a cold towel—a refreshing contrast to the opening heat that cools and calms the freshly shaved skin.

Aftershave is available upon request for those who enjoy the classic finishing touch.

Looking for a completely clean head shave? Traditional straight razor head shaves are also available as part of this service upon consultation with your barber.

More than simply removing facial hair, this is one of barbering’s most timeless traditions.
