chevysoldier Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) My wife got me a full service shave at The Art of Shaving at Easton for my birthday. I have never had a straight razor shave before. I was a bit unsure about it but have always wanted to. It was amazing. Closest shave I have ever had and crazy smooth. Here is from the website. Although mine took an hour.ROYAL SHAVE - 45 MIN$55Our signature service, The Royal Shave is the ultimate indulgence. Experience the ritual of The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave® performed by our expertly trained Master Barbers. This relaxing escape begins with a hot towel and a protective layer of Pre-Shave Oil to prepare your skin. Next, Shaving Cream is applied to the face in a rich, hot lather. Our skilled Master Barbers use a traditional Straight Razor with precision and mastery to shave with the grain first, and then re-lather and shave once more against the grain for closeness. A second hot towel, infused with Lemon Essential Oil, is applied and followed by the After Shave Mask, replenishing the skin’s moisture after the shave. Next, a cold towel, infused with Lavender Essential Oil, provides a soothing and relaxing experience. The Perfect Shave® concludes with the Hydrating Toner and the application of the After Shave Balm to hydrate the freshly shaven skin.If you have never been, I highly recommend it. I was so relaxed and comfortable I could hardly talk and walk. Lol Edited December 8, 2014 by chevysoldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 From the "OR King of facial hair"?Haha!! I go to the barber every couple weeks. I get a "razor fade" which means they start with a straight razor and fade from bottom to top, shortest being on the bottom. I also have a part razor cut into my hair, so in the morning, there is no drama finding my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
