THE OLD-SCHOOL SHAVE
The straight razor has remained part of traditional barbering for generations because the process matters as much as the finished shave.
Preparation helps get the skin and hair ready for the razor, while controlled strokes allow the barber to work carefully around the contours of the face, jaw and neckline. The result is a precise finish that is difficult to replicate with a quick shave at home.
Depending on the barber and service you book, straight razor work at Knucklehead may include:
- Full straight razor shaves for a clean, close finish across the face
- Hot-towel preparation to help prepare the area before razor work
- Razor lineups for sharper beard and facial-hair edges
- Neck shaves for a cleaner finish around the neckline
- Detailed finishing work around areas that can be difficult to shave evenly at home
Straight razor work may be booked on its own or included as part of a larger haircut, beard or grooming service depending on the barber.
WHY GET A STRAIGHT RAZOR SHAVE?
Straight razor work is used across several Knucklehead services. Depending on the barber, that may include full face shaves, razor lineups, hot-towel neck shaves or finishing work as part of a beard or VIP grooming appointment.
Services vary by barber, so check each booking page to find the shave or grooming service that best fits what you’re looking for.
