The Ritual of the Hot Towel Shave - A Luxurious Experience
At Fades and Blades, we believe that the hot towel shave is more than just a grooming service—it's a time-honoured ritual that embodies relaxation, precision, and indulgence. In this guide, we'll take you through the step-by-step process of a classic hot towel shave, exploring its benefits, the art of lathering, and the soothing effect it has on our clients.
Preparation The hot towel shave begins with preparation. We start by softening the client's facial hair and opening their pores with a warm, damp towel. This helps to relax the skin and make the shaving process smoother and more comfortable.
Lathering Next, we apply a rich, creamy shaving lather to the client's face using a shaving brush. The brush helps to lift the hairs and create a thick, protective layer of lather that cushions the skin and allows the razor to glide effortlessly.
Shaving With the lather in place, we carefully shave the client's beard using a sharp, straight razor. We follow the natural contours of their face, taking short, precise strokes to achieve a close, smooth shave. The hot towel shave allows for a closer shave than traditional methods, resulting in a clean, polished look.
Post-Shave Treatment To finish the hot towel shave experience, we apply a soothing aftershave lotion or balm to the client's face. This helps to hydrate the skin, reduce irritation, and leave a subtle, refreshing scent.
