Shaving at the next level – Hot towel shaving
While you may love the novelty of shaving, and the fact that you’ve finally become a man, in adulthood it’s more of a hassle that everyone would do without if they could. Some people grow a beard because of such reasons, but it’s the same thing, it has to be dealt with. In fact, you shouldn’t shave as regularly, but you should. In time, you’ll come to rely on your barber for many, if not all, of your shaves, not only for professional results, but also to save time and hassle, because it’s so much easier and provides much better care for your skin and beard. This is where the breakthrough will come when your barber asks the big question: classic or hot towel shave? Hot towel shaving is a “luxury” version of traditional shaving. A complete breath of fresh air, especially after a long day at work. As well as being extremely relaxing, it gives you a much more effective and beautiful shave! Have you tried it? If not, it’s time, but get to know a little first!
Hot towel shave?
If it sounds completely unfamiliar, you’ve probably never experienced barber’s heaven. Shaving with a hot towel is a kind of luxury shaving, which is a concrete wellness experience. Once you know what it’s all about, there will be no more question of where to get rid of the rust and in what form.
How does the hot towel shave work?
Hot towel shave involves covering your face with a towel soaked in hot water, which is then blotted out beforehand. This releases hot air, which does not escape because of the towel, and has an effect on the skin and facial hair. The towel is left on the face for a few minutes and then removed.
The benefits of hot towel shaving
Opens the pores
The first positive effect worth mentioning is that the hot air opens up the pores. This is good because it makes the skin more elastic, which gives you a much safer base for shaving. This way, you can achieve more effective and more beautiful results.
Softens the hairs
The hot air softens not only the skin but also the hairs. The advantage is that shaving is much easier, as the blade cuts the hair more easily. This will give a much more consistent and uniform result.
Ensuring a more consistent result
The hot air helps the skin to fight irritation. It’s well known that shaving damages the top layer of skin, and if you have a super-sensitive face, it can cause redness and breakouts, no matter how professionally you shave. If you choose to shave with a hot towel, your face will be more resistant and irritation-prone skin will be much nicer at the end of the shave.
Improves the condition of the complexion
If you have skin problems, you may also benefit from hot towel shaving. The hot air helps to get rid of dead skin cells and promotes the formation of new cells. The skin will look much better and healthier as a result.
Calming
While the hot towel is resting on your face, you’ll enjoy a concrete wellness experience. It’s great for calming and relaxing, which helps you feel refreshed!
Hot towel shave at the G-cutz barber shop
The first step is style advice. It’s an integral part of all our services, and here it’s no different. It is important to state at the beginning what the guest wants and what kind of shape they want. If someone is clueless about this, we can help you determine what is the best possible fit for them. After that, it’s time for the wellness experience!
When shaving with a hot towel, it’s important to prepare your skin, so apply a softening face cream before you towel off. Then prepare the hot towel and cover your face with it. Don’t be afraid, it’s a pleasant heat, not excessive heat! The towel is left on your face for a few minutes while the hot air does its work, softening your skin and hairs. When the time is up, which is about 4-5 minutes, the towel is removed from your face. The water from the mist is wiped off your face and then wiped clean. Then apply the shaving cream and start shaving. We work with a sterile blade to create the shape you want, or if you want a clean shave, we’ll get rid of any facial hair. When you’re done cutting, wipe off the cream and wipe your face clean. Then apply a soothing after shave to calm your complexion. The last step is to place a cold towel on your face for a few seconds to close the pores opened by the hot air.
