Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Straight Razor Shave.

We use pre-shave oils, warm towels, and high-quality lather to minimize irritation. For sensitive skin we adjust pressure, use fresh blades, and recommend a short consultation to assess skin condition and patch-test products before the full shave.

Expect about 30 to 45 minutes depending on beard thickness, skin preparation, and detailing. The appointment includes consultation, hot-towel prep, multiple shaving passes, aftercare balm, and styling. We focus on comfort and precise technique rather than speed.

Arrive with a clean face and, if possible, avoid heavy products that could interfere with lather. Hydrate beforehand and allow facial hair growth of at least a couple days if you normally shave. Communicate allergies or skin concerns during check-in.

Avoid heavy sweating and hot water for 12 to 24 hours. Use the soothing, alcohol-free aftershave balm we recommend, keep skin moisturized, and apply SPF if outdoors. If irritation occurs, contact us for follow-up care and recommendations.

Yes. We follow strict sanitation protocols: single-use disposable blades or professionally sterilized razors, fresh linens, and full surface disinfection between clients. Our barbers are trained in technique and hygiene to ensure a safe, clean shave for all skin types.

It depends on hair growth and preference. Many clients book every one to three weeks for a polished look; others choose monthly appointments for maintenance. We'll recommend a schedule during your visit based on skin sensitivity and desired appearance.
