Head Shaves, Done Properly
Shaving a head well is a craft of its own: the scalp is a landscape of curves and grain changes, and a proper head shave respects every one of them. Hot towels, hot lather, a careful razor, and a finish that leaves the scalp smooth without a single irritated line, plus honest advice on keeping it that way between visits.
Clippers-smooth or razor-smooth
Two versions, both honest work. The zero-guard clipper shave leaves the faintest shadow and takes less upkeep. The full razor shave goes glass-smooth, hot towel prep, lather, blade. First time shaving it all off? We will talk you through which to start with and how your scalp is likely to respond.
First-time head shaves
Deciding to shave it all is a bigger moment than most haircuts. We take it seriously: an even first pass, a careful look at the scalp you have been hiding under hair, and the little map of your own cowlicks and grain you will need for home maintenance.
Common questions
How often does a shaved head need the shop?
Razor-smooth lasts two to four days before shadow; most razor regulars come weekly or twice monthly and maintain at home between. The clipper version stretches longer. Either way the visit is quick and the hot towel is worth it alone.
Does a head shave hurt or irritate?
Not done right. Heat first, real lather, fresh blade, correct grain, the same discipline as a face shave. Tell us about any sensitive spots and the razor goes around them with care.
