Straight Edge Razor Shave

A barber providing a shave with a straight edge razor is a traditional method of shaving that has been used for centuries. The straight edge razor, also known as a cut-throat razor or open razor, is a sharp blade that is held in a handle and used to shave the face.

To provide a shave with a straight edge razor, our barbers will first prepare the skin by applying a warm towel to soften the facial hair and open up the pores. This helps to make the shaving process smoother and less irritating to the skin.

Once the skin is prepared, the barber will apply a lubricating cream or oil to the face. This helps to reduce friction and allow the razor to glide smoothly across the skin.

The barber will then carefully and skillfully use the razor to shave the beard and mustache area. The razor is held at a precise angle and moved in short, careful strokes to remove the hair without damaging the skin. The barber will also use a steady hand to avoid any nicks or cuts to the skin.

After the shave is complete, the barber will apply a soothing aftershave lotion to help calm and protect the skin.

Overall, a shave with a straight edge razor is a precise and traditional method of shaving that requires skill and experience. Many people prefer this method because it provides a close, smooth shave and can be a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
