Hot towel shaves in Riverview
The shop calls it the Pro-Style VIP Experience, and it is the one thing on the board that is not really about hair. Hot towel, straight razor, and the fifteen or twenty minutes it takes to do properly.
What it is
The towel comes first and it does the work — heat softens the beard and lifts it away from the skin so the razor takes hair rather than the face. Skip that step and you get the razor burn people associate with shaving because they have only ever done it themselves in a hurry.
Who it's for
Anyone who has never had someone else shave them, and anyone with a wedding, a funeral or a photograph on Saturday. It is the closest shave you will get and it lasts a day longer than your own.
If your skin is sensitive
Say so at the chair. It changes the prep and the aftershave, and it is much easier to hear before than to fix after.
