What makes a great straight razor shave
A straight razor shave is the oldest service in the shop and the one that most separates a barber from a stylist. Michigan licenses the blade, and not every barber in a shop holds the shaving side of the craft.
The blade is held at roughly thirty degrees and the skin is kept taut through every stroke. Hot towels bracket the passes to keep the beard soft, and the finish is alum or balm to close the skin down.
It is a slow service on purpose. Forty-five minutes in the chair, no clippers, no rush.
What to ask for
- Say if you shave daily at home - the barber will lighten the second pass.
- Ask for the neck to be done with the grain if you get bumps.
- Ask which barber on the floor does the most shaves that week.
Book for weddings, interviews and photos, or as a monthly ritual.
Getting there from Oakland Township
From central Oakland Township, take Adams Rd south through Rochester toward Walton Blvd. The drive follows Adams Rd almost the entire way, past Tienken Rd, into the Adams Square plaza where Detroit Barbers has its own free lot. Expect roughly a 12 to 15 minute drive depending on where in the township you start.
There is no Detroit Barbers shop inside Oakland Township. The Rochester Hills shop is the closest one, and it is the chair Oakland Township clients book for a straight razor shave. The shop runs Tuesday to Sunday and is closed Mondays. Weekday mornings right after opening are the quietest window for a walk-in; Saturdays fill first, so book ahead if the weekend is your only option.
