The full traditional shave — straight razor, hot towels, the works.
A proper barbershop shave, the way it should be done. We open the pores with pre-shave oil and a hot towel, then take it down with a straight razor.
A second pass for the closest possible finish, a cold towel to close everything back up, and balm to leave the skin calm. The most relaxing 45 minutes of your week.
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
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
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.
Heated towels open the pores and soften the stubble. Increased blood flow lifts the hairs for a cleaner, safer shave with far less irritation.
Freshly whipped lather from natural soap, applied warm with a bowl and a soft natural-bristle brush for the perfect thick consistency.
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.
A cold compress soothes the skin, tightens the pores and relieves irritation — no alcohol-based products, no discomfort.
A soothing balm with natural ingredients is gently massaged in to restore and moisturize the skin after the shave.
