Hot Towel Shave

The quintessential barbershop experience. Steaming hot towels, rich lather built by hand, and the steady glide of a straight razor deliver the smoothest, closest shave you have ever had. This is luxury you can feel.

The Classic Luxury

A Ritual, Not
Just a Shave

The hot towel shave is the service that built the barbershop tradition. At Brass Heritage, we honor that legacy with a multi-step ritual that leaves your skin feeling impossibly smooth, refreshed, and cared for.

It begins with a pre-shave oil worked into the skin to soften the beard and create a protective barrier. Then comes the first of multiple steaming hot towel wraps, opening pores and softening even the coarsest stubble. Your barber builds a rich, warm lather by hand using a premium shaving cream and badger-hair brush.

The shave itself is performed with a freshly stropped straight razor in steady, confident passes. A cold towel follows to close the pores, and the experience finishes with a soothing aftershave balm and toner to calm the skin and lock in moisture. From start to finish, the process takes about 30 to 40 minutes — and every moment is worth it.
