Pre-shave oil, a hot towel to open the pores, then a straight-razor pass with the grain. We re-lather, take a closer second pass, then finish with a cold towel and a calming balm.

Come with a day or two of growth for the best result. Sensitive skin? Tell us and we’ll adjust the blade and the balm. About 45 minutes — and the most relaxing part of your week.

Skip harsh aftershaves for a few hours; a light moisturiser keeps the skin calm. Book it in before an event and you’ll look freshly turned-out.

For connoisseurs · Royal Shaving

The straight-razor shave

Home razors and clippers can't compete with a classic blade for cleanliness. We use a traditional straight razor — the same tool men have used for centuries. In the hands of an experienced barber, a perfectly sharp blade takes stubble down to smooth skin without the risk of cuts.

The Royal Shave — the term traces back to William Truefitt, who opened his first London barber shop in 1805 and founded the Truefitt & Hill brand. His establishment earned a high reputation among English aristocrats and royal-court privileges, laying the foundations for this prestigious service.

Every instrument is meticulously cleaned and disinfected, and the blades themselves are disposable.

The ritual

Shaving, step by step

01

Pre-shave oil

A pre-shave oil softens the hair for a comfortable, safe shave and helps prevent ingrown hairs, leaving a thin film that lets the blade glide.

02

Hot-towel steam

Heated towels open the pores and soften the stubble. Increased blood flow lifts the hairs for a cleaner, safer shave with far less irritation.

03

Lathering

Freshly whipped lather from natural soap, applied warm with a bowl and a soft natural-bristle brush for the perfect thick consistency.

04

Straight-razor pass

The barber stretches the skin and, with precise pressure and the right angle, glides the extremely sharp blade to cut the hair smoothly and cleanly.

05

Cold compress

A cold compress soothes the skin, tightens the pores and relieves irritation — no alcohol-based products, no discomfort.

06

Aftershave balm

A soothing balm with natural ingredients is gently massaged in to restore and moisturize the skin after the shave.
