What you get
A proper hot towel shave is not a quick scrape. It's a sequence, and every step has a purpose:
- Hot towel — opens the pores and softens the beard so the blade glides instead of dragging
- Pre-shave oil — protects the skin underneath
- Warm lather, brushed in against the grain to lift every hair
- Straight razor, worked with the grain and then across it for a genuinely close finish
- Cold towel to close the pores, then balm to calm the skin
It takes about half an hour and it is the most relaxing thirty minutes you'll spend in Patong.
Why it beats shaving yourself on holiday
Shaving over a hotel sink with a travel razor gives you irritation and missed patches along the jaw. A straight razor in trained hands gives a closer shave than any cartridge razor, and it lasts noticeably longer — most men get two to three days before stubble shows.
At ฿350 (roughly €9) it costs a fraction of what the same service runs in Europe or Australia.
Is it safe?
Yes. We use a fresh, single-use blade for every client — you'll see it unwrapped in front of you. Towels are clean per person and all surfaces are wiped down between clients.
Add it to a haircut
Plenty of people pair the shave with a cut. A classic cut is ฿350 and a cut + beard package is ฿550. Full pricing is on the menu.
