Overview
Our shop provides professional shave services designed to deliver precise, comfortable results. Each shave begins with an assessment of skin and hair type so the barber can select the correct tools and products. The process combines careful preparation, skillful razor work, and clear aftercare instructions to minimize irritation and help maintain results between visits.
Who benefits from a professional shave?
Clients who prefer a clean neckline, a smooth face, or a defined finish around facial hair will see immediate results from an in-shop shave. Those with sensitive skin or previous razor irritation should consult with the barber before beginning any aggressive shaving technique. Our team also works with clients who simply want a relaxing grooming experience—this is more than a routine; it’s a short service that pays attention to comfort and finish.
What to expect during your visit
Appointments begin with a brief consultation to confirm your preferences and any skin concerns. The barber will then complete the following steps:
- Cleanse and warm the area to soften hair.
- Apply a professional shave oil or pre-shave solution to protect the skin.
- Use shaving cream or soap applied with a brush to create a protective lather.
- Execute the shave with a single-edge blade or high-quality cartridge razor, following the grain and then cross-grain as appropriate for a close finish.
- Rinse, inspect, and apply a soothing aftercare lotion or balm.
Every product used in the chair is selected to reduce post-shave redness and to support healthy skin. If you have known allergies, please notify the barber before any product is applied.
Service options and add-ons
We offer a range of shave-related services to suit different needs:
- Traditional straight-razor shave: A full-service straight-razor treatment for clients seeking a very close finish. Includes hot towel, lather, shave, and post-shave care.
- Beard edge and definition: Cleanup and precise lines around beard and mustache to improve shape and symmetry.
- Neck and neckline shaves: For those who prefer to keep facial hair but want a sharp, tidy neckline.
- Quick touch-ups: Short appointments to keep an existing style clean between full shaves.
Tell the barber how you prefer the final look—natural fade, sharp edges, or a subtle finish—and they will proceed accordingly.
Aftercare and maintenance
Proper aftercare is essential to prolong the result and protect the skin. Key points to follow after a professional shave:
- Keep the area clean and avoid heavy sweating for 12–24 hours when possible.
- Use the recommended soothing balm or lotion to hydrate the skin and reduce irritation.
- Avoid strong exfoliants for at least 48 hours after a deep shave.
- For ongoing irritation, switch to a gentler shaving routine and speak with your barber for product suggestions.
Following these steps will decrease the likelihood of nicks, razor burn, and ingrown hairs.
