The Straight Razor Shave
A straight razor shave is the oldest service in barbering and still the best half hour on the menu: hot towels to open the skin, hot lather, a fresh blade carried in long, even strokes, and a cool finish that closes everything back down. It is equal parts grooming and rest. In a valley full of fast cuts, this is the opposite on purpose.
$5 off a haircut for seniors 65+, active duty military and children 12 and under. Every price is a starting price; the final price is set in the chair by the work.
What the ritual involves
You lean back. A hot towel softens the beard while the lather warms. The shave itself is quiet, unhurried work, with the grain first, then across it where your beard needs it, the neckline and edges finished precisely. A cool towel and balm close the pores. You get up slower than you sat down, in the best way.
Who books it
Grooms on wedding mornings. Fathers and sons before graduations. Men who shave daily and want to feel what the real thing is like. And a steady crowd of regulars who treat it as the one unhurried appointment in their week.
The neckline version
If a full shave is not your thing, ask for the razor finish on any haircut, the neckline and edges taken clean with the straight razor. It is the detail that makes a fresh cut look a week fresher.
Common questions
Does a straight razor shave irritate skin?
Done properly it is gentler than most home routines: heat opens the skin first, the lather is real, the blade is fresh, and the strokes follow your grain. Tell us about sensitive skin or ingrowns and the shave adapts to you.
How long does it take?
Set aside about half an hour. It is not a service we rush, that is the whole point of it.
