Hot lather. Cold towel. Straight razor.

A barbershop and shave parlor in the Heights. Fades, beard sculpting and the traditional shave, done the old-fashioned way, with good music and a cold beer while you wait.

The traditional shave

An hour in the chair, in four steps. This is the service the parlor is named for.

  1. Hot towel

    Softens the beard and opens the skin before any blade comes near it.

  2. Hot lather

    Worked up the traditional way, with a silver tip badger brush.

  3. Straight razor

    Two careful passes. With the grain first, then across.

  4. Cold towel

    Closes it all up, followed by a relaxing facial massage.
