The Old Town Straight Razor Shave Process

Every shave is executed by our barbers using steel blades for maximum hygiene and safety.

Step 1

Hot Towel & Pre-Shave Oils

We begin by applying essential pre-shave oils, followed by a series of steamed hot towels to open pores, relax skin facial muscles, and soften hair follicles.

Step 2

Rich Warm Lather

Thick, warm lather is worked thoroughly into the skin with a classic shaving brush, lifting hairs and providing a protective cushion for the blade.

Step 3

Precision Razor Pass

Your barber skilled in grain analysis executes deliberate passes with a fresh straight razor, ensuring an ultra-smooth finish without irritation.

Step 4

Cold Towel & Post-Balm

We finish with a chilled towel to close pores, followed by a soothing, alcohol-free post-shave balm to hydrate and protect your refreshed skin.
