Classic Hot Towel Shave: The Ritual, Step by Step

5 July 2026

The classic hot towel shave is the jewel of traditional barbering. More than removing hair, it's a ritual that cares for the skin and relaxes. Here's how we do it.

The steps

The skin is prepared with a hot towel that opens the pores and softens the hair. Oil and soap are applied with a brush, and the shave is done with a straight razor, first with the grain and then against it, with precision. It's finished with a cold towel to close the pores and a soothing balm.

Why it's better

Beyond the perfect closeness, it reduces irritation and ingrown hairs compared to a rushed shave at home. And the feeling on the skin is simply incomparable.
