A Classic Shave, Elevated with Comfort

This isn’t just a shave — it’s a ritual steeped in tradition.
We begin with a warm towel application to soften the stubble and open the pores, preparing your skin for the smoothest possible shave. A rich, creamy lather follows, applied with care to cushion each stroke of the straight razor. Every pass is deliberate and precise, shaping your beard lines or delivering a full clean shave with impeccable attention to detail.

Our barbers blend time-honoured techniques with a modern focus on skin comfort, ensuring you leave not only looking sharp but feeling refreshed and revitalised.
