The slow way
Hot towel shaves in Stuart, FL
Some things are better done the old way. A hot towel shave takes its time: the heat softens the hair and opens the skin, so the razor glides instead of drags.
It’s the closest shave you’ll get, and honestly one of the most relaxing ways to spend time in a barber’s chair.
How it goes
- Steamed towels to open the pores and soften the beard.
- Hot lather worked in to lift the hair.
- A straight-razor pass with the grain, the gentlest way to get a close shave.
- A cool towel to close the pores and calm the skin.
Before a big day
Weddings, interviews, photos, first dates. Book the shave a day or two before if your skin tends to get red, or the same morning if it doesn’t.
Questions
Before you book
Is a straight razor shave okay for sensitive skin?
Usually, yes. The hot towels and prep make a big difference. Tell me if you’re prone to bumps or irritation and I’ll adjust the passes to suit your skin.
Can I add a shave to a haircut?
Yes. Let me know when you book, or ask in the chair if there’s time.
