Price: $22-$30

Our unique Straight razor shave isn’t just about getting rid of stubble—it’s a complete, curated experience for gentlemen.

At City Masters Hair & Spa Barbershop, we’re on a mission to resurrect this classic grooming ritual. Our barbers are rigorously trained in the art of the straight-blade shave, utilizing only top-grade shaving supplies to ensure you receive a safe, luxurious experience.

Signature Straight-Blade Shave

  1. The straight razor shaves commences with a soothing 30-minute hot towel session to ease your facial muscles, open up the pores, and tenderize the hair for a remarkably close. 
  2. Following this, our skilled barbers apply a nourishing hot lather to your face to hydrate and prepare the skin. 
  3. The straight razor shave is then expertly maneuvered to deliver that will leave your skin feeling extraordinarily soft and rejuvenated for days. 
  4. We round off the procedure with a refreshing cold towel infused with aromatic oils to invigorate your skin. This age-old technique not only minimizes skin irritation and helps deter ingrown hairs but also leaves you looking and feeling dapper.

FAQ

Traditional shaving refers to the art of shaving that relies on traditional tools and methods. While there isn’t a strict definition, the central idea involves utilizing either a double-edge or straight razor in conjunction with a shaving brush. This practice can be elevated by incorporating various other products, principles, and techniques into the shaving routine.

This includes the use of high-quality shaving cream, which is skillfully whipped into a luxurious, creamy lather within a bowl. It also involves dedicating more time to the pre-shave ritual to adequately prepare the skin and hair for the impending razor action, thus improving the smoothness of the shave. Additionally, the application of pre-shave and post-shave oils and balms is common to soften, shield, and soothe the skin.

Is the conventional shaving method more environmentally friendly? Absolutely we place a significant emphasis on that. A quality double-edged razor has a lifetime of use, and its replaceable blades are entirely constructed from steel, devoid of any plastic.

Moreover, a plethora of high-quality shaving creams and soaps on the market are crafted from natural ingredients, and a considerable number of them are cruelty-free. Shaving soap containers can be repurposed, recycled, or refilled with soap blocks.

Starting traditional shaving may require an initial investment, but maintaining a double-edged razor is remarkably cost-effective. This means that a DE blade is approximately five to nine times cheaper than an inferior, non-recyclable cartridge.

Shaving cream and soap have impressive longevity, outlasting a can of shaving gel while delivering superior results in terms of both shaving quality and skincare.

The price of shaving brushes may vary, but a well-maintained brush can serve you for many years. Using a brush significantly enhances your shaving experience and is an essential part of the traditional shaving ritual.
