- Anthony Berriola, Owner/Master Barber, of Razors Barbershop & Shave in Somerville, Mass performs his traditional Straight Razor Shave.
Many critics will comment about not performing a second pass of the razor, but not all of my clients opt for it, such as the one in this video. I will happily perform a second pass if my client would prefer it or if I feel their skin type will take to it comfortably. - Thanks for watching
Yea, it's really a shame that tradition is not valued as much as it should be but it's great to see there is still some left. Thanks for watching and commenting
Wow! That is a very awsome thing to hear and I thank you kindly. I am not sure what you would like to know, but it is a song about an Italian born in Napoli and wants to be like the Americans. I thought it was funny as I am an Italian/American trying to do hngs as a traditional Italian, and it is a fun song that went very well with this kind of video. Again, thanks for such nice words. Ciao
That Sinatra pic is my favorite piece in the shop lol thanks for noticing
I love that song.
I didn't realize how many old school barber shops are still around until I accidentally came across a random video the other day. Since then I've seen tons of cool looking shops that are keeping this profession alive.
this is a awesome barber shop. I visited there and got a head and a face shave and was quite impressed with the service. I am a master barber with almost 40 years experience and very critical of barber shops but was quite impressed. keep up the great work Anthony.
Wow thanks alot. Glad you enjoyed your shave as much as we enjoy giving them. Hope to see you again soon
@John Gannon thank you very mch for the love. I wish you and our shop lots of success. Keep shaving, it's a dying art
This video has become a daily inspiration! Beautiful shave, Awesome video! Please, tell me more about the song?!
There's nothing like a hot shave after a hair cut. Great vid amigo.
I had watched this video a while back and just loved that folded towel trick, I finally found it. Great job!
+Ferran Huerta Thanks so much!
Thank you for the comment.
Well shot, and well edited. Great job.
I had a great uncle who was an Italian barber and this probably how he shaved a lot of customers.
Greatly appreciated, we have a great industry with rich history and we need to preserve it. Much love
I've been looking for a good traditional straight edge shave for the longest time. Next time I'm up in Boston on business you'll be sure I'll be stopping by :)
These guys are awesome have been there a few times and never had a bad cut
No, I use the talc to help remove excess moisture on the face from the steamed towels and relieve friction. This allows me to wipe away any small hairs that may be "stuck" to the skin and see if I missed anything.
That is great stuff. Definitely keep practicing, we need more Barbers that appreciate the art of the shave. I thank you for all the kind words
Very simple procedure yet effective and close. I'm a barber in Murfreesboro, TN and use the exact same stuff and same procedure as you. Very well done without over doing it man.
Agreed, there is nothing like a solid straight razor!
Astra blades are phenomenal!
@Arteesimo thank you for all of the kind words. It means alot
Just starting out in my Barbering career. I m loving it, wish I started earlier. I have been shaving my self learning and working on not to be heavy handed. I make it a whole event. I jam Louis Prima when shaving. thanks for the video. Striving to have a shop like yours one day. much props
In the video I am using Astra. I also like Crystal and Sharks are ok. Thanks for viewing my vid
How can this video have NO comments!? Informative, nicely shot and the video treatment was fresh and clean!
Very cool and professional. I don't know what I liked more the shave or the hat. :). See you soon.
I would be happy to shave your face if you ever decide to venture over. Thanks for the comment. Ciao!
Greetings from Western Mass. Hope to visit some day.
So clean....makes me want to have a straight razor shave one day. I wonder how long does the shave last, though, before the hair grows back?
In the vid I am using the Magic shavette but I also use the Parker SR1
Fantastic production quality on this video. Really well done.
Hahaha. Thank you very much. That hat is one of my favorites in my collection. Hope to meet ou soon
Just left an hour ago. IT'S AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS,
Very, very cool !!!
I sometimes use Astra blades allso find Merkur and Wilkinson Sword give a smooth shave nice hat by the way
@janiebrown22 sorry but I did not personally add my video to your page, someone on your side mist have added it, possibly from your phone or something. Apologies but you have the ability to remove it from your playlist, not me
I was wondering about that. Only had one shaving experience, about 30 years ago now, and was surprised when she shaved me twice.
i would be terrified going there. wht if his first name was sweeney and his last name was todd and his shop was right next to a lovett meat pie emporium.
Great job my friend keep it old school Italia god bless brother
+Johnny Boydianno L'italiano vero! Thanks for the comment!
Grazie Mille!!
I'm using a Astra blade at the moment prefer Wilkinson SWword or Merkur though
This was well done. I loved the apron/colour swipe at the end. Nice work. p.s. r/wicked_edge brought me here.
Very stylish.
Thank you
I would love to get one of those in my lifetime.
It all depends on the beard type but will definitely last longer thatn the expensive gillette razors
$30 shave there.. good stuff
what kind of razor do u use? not blades, Razor?
You have a very nice looking shop.
Which one u prefer the most?
i love this :)!!
Does the Pinaud Talc have the same effect as the regular liquid after shave lotion?
Can't go wrong with a little Pinaud
Great vid.
What brand of razors u use?
I have a FULL on beard, like a crazy six month old beard. Can you completely shave that off with a straight razor?
I can't quite tell from the video, but is that a scuttle you are using for building your lather?
+Scott Lewis I think it was a bowl.
+Scott Lewis You are right, It is a scuttle
Yes it is. Good eye. It is from Ogusky Ceramics. Unfortunately the handle was broken on this particular one, but it is a real beauty
wicked bad ass
I like that there are still traditious barbers! You did a nice job! But I think, this painting of the wall, doesn't fit for the whole thing. I mean, while the video was black and white, I had that feeling, that it's comfortable, and relaxing, and at the end, it just broke, and if I were the guy in the video, I wouldn't have been able to relax, and feel good, because the room is just ugly, I think. But it seems like most of the people here like it.
Now I feel like a loser. Before I commented, it said NO COMMENTS. As soon as I write something, comments are already sitting there.
what type of razors were ...
Plx name razor?
haha my shaves will only put a smile on your face, not underneath you chin lol. Great comment though!
Could have gotten WAY closer if you had done an extra lather, and another shave against the grain this time.
Its not right if theres not an old irish or italian dude doing the barbering.
I was a young Italian in that vid. That should count lol
Haha it does count. Im happy to see you doing it old school. I hope this trend continues to grow
I appreciate the kind words!
Remove all barber things off my plalist don't want
That dude needed two passes. Not great.
I appreciate all comments, positive or negative. I am proud to show off a skill I have been practicing for a very long time, but please read vid description before passing judgement. Thank you kindly.
+INFOCOOL- 2 passes are not common ; however some clients request a 2nd - Usually to go against the grain.
+Kacy M Look at 2:21 those missed spots on the neck below the chin. If not a full second pass, it was in need of touch up. I used to get shaves at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver in the early 1990's. That man "Curly" was Eisenhower's barber when the president was in town. Curly was the standard. Nowadays it's marginal preparation, marginal products, and a quick pass. Sorry but that's how I see it.
Plx name razor?
