How a Hot Towel Shave Goes
- Consultation. Your barber checks the grain of your beard and how your skin takes a blade.
- Pre-shave oil. Worked in to soften the hair and protect the skin.
- Hot towel. Wrapped on to open the pores and lift the beard.
- Warm lather. Brushed on in layers.
- Straight razor. The shave itself.
- Cool towel. To close the pores and settle the skin.
- Aftershave and moisturizer. The finish, so you leave comfortable rather than raw.
Start to finish, about 45 minutes.
