Traditional Shave

A traditional straight-razor shave is one of the most distinctive services we offer. It is a careful craft — hot towel, shaving cream, precise razor, and an aftershave finish. The result is skin that feels smooth, clean, and refreshed in a way no home shave can match.

When to choose a traditional shave

A traditional shave works well as a regular treatment for those who want the precision of a straight razor, but also as a special choice before a wedding, job interview, or important event. You can also combine it with a haircut — see Haircut + Traditional Shave.

Frequently asked questions

What is a traditional shave?
A traditional shave is performed with a straight razor. The skin is prepared with a hot towel, shaving cream is applied with a brush, and the razor is used in precise strokes along the face. It finishes with a cold towel and aftershave.
Is a traditional shave suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, but let us know at booking or on arrival. We can adapt products and technique for more sensitive skin types. A hot towel and the right cream prepare skin for a gentler shave.
How long does the result last?
A traditional shave delivers a truly close shave that lasts slightly longer than a home shave — typically 2–4 days depending on how fast stubble grows.
Can I combine a shave with a haircut?
Yes. We offer Haircut + Traditional Shave as a combined package for a more complete result in one visit.
What should I keep in mind afterwards?
Avoid touching your face more than necessary for the first few hours. Apply a mild moisturiser if the skin feels tight. We can recommend suitable products.
