Our Hot Towel Straight Razor Shave: A Classic Finish in Carytown

Choose a classic barber service

A close shave gives your appearance a different character from a beard trim. It can reveal a clean outline, complement a fresh haircut, and become a moment of care in a busy day. Our straight razor shave brings the hot towel experience to your visit with us in Carytown.

Our service is $50. You can review our service menu and confirm the current price when booking. If you would like a haircut as well, include both services when arranging your appointment so your visit reflects the complete result you have in mind.

If you prefer to keep your beard, our beard trim service is the place to start. We can discuss the length and outline you want to preserve, while a shave is the choice for a close finish on the areas being shaved.

Tell us the finish you are looking for

Before your visit, think about the facial hair that defines your preferred look. You may want a clean-shaven face, or you may have a mustache or sideburns you want to keep. Tell us those details so we can discuss the boundaries clearly.

A reference photo can help if you are changing your appearance. Point to the outline you like and explain what you want to preserve. We want you to feel confident about the intended result before the service begins.

Your shaving history matters too. Let us know if your neck tends to feel sensitive, if a particular product has bothered you, or if you prefer a less-close finish in certain areas. Those details belong in the conversation alongside the look you want.

Understand why preparation matters

Our shave includes a hot towel. Moisture is also a foundation of general shaving preparation: the American Academy of Dermatology recommends softening the skin and hair with water and applying shaving cream or gel before shaving. Its guidance explains why preparation deserves attention, alongside the blade work itself. AAD shaving guidance

We encourage you to ask about anything that affects your comfort, including product sensitivities and previous irritation. If you have persistent skin concerns, a dermatologist can help you understand them; the AAD notes that shaving can aggravate acne. AAD guidance on shaving and skin

For your arrival, ask us how to prepare your facial hair rather than shaving it away immediately beforehand. That lets us plan around your starting point and the finish you want.

Make the shave part of your next occasion

A shave can be a finishing touch before an important event or simply a service you choose for yourself. If your visit is connected to a wedding, interview, or photographs, tell us the date when booking so you can plan the appointment around the rest of your day.

For an unfamiliar look or shave routine, we recommend trying it ahead of the occasion. You will have a chance to see the result, notice how your skin feels afterward, and decide when you like the finish best. Our wedding haircut and beard trim guide can help you plan that timing.

At the end of your visit, ask us about caring for your skin after the service and maintaining the appearance you enjoy. For directions and parking before you arrive, see our first-visit guide.
