What makes a great hot towel shave
A hot towel shave is a sequence, and skipping any part of it is what causes irritation. Pre-shave oil goes on first, then steaming towels to soften the beard and open the follicle, then hand-lathered cream worked in with a brush.
The razor work is two passes: with the grain first to take the bulk, then across or against it to finish, with the skin held taut the whole way. Between passes the towels come back. The finish is cool towel, balm and aftershave.
Done properly it takes forty-five minutes and it is the closest shave you will get. It is also the single best argument for sitting in a barber chair instead of standing at your own sink.
What to ask for
- Tell the barber if you are prone to ingrown hairs so the second pass can go with the grain.
- Ask to keep a moustache or a specific edge before the lather goes on.
- Book it the day before an event rather than the morning of.
Most clients book a shave for events or as a monthly reset rather than weekly.
