Can we ever get a new video? With this gentlemen doing the hot towel shave. This is the most calming asmr video I’ve ever watched. World class barber, and a velvety smooth voice to go along with it. Stay safe and stay healthy. Cheers
It really is like unintentional ASMR. Very relaxing and soothing. I can't imagine what actually having this done would be like. Like, taking a Xanax level of relaxing.
Barber here. You sir have the very best, no frills or flash, videos I've found. It's important in my opinion to be very basic and fundamental during your shave. Flash and bang have no place with the face. Certainly with a literal razor in your hand. Bravo sir. Bravo.
Thank you! So many barbers don’t know the basics and try to disguise this with flashiness! Or try to over complicate what is a simple process - as long as you’re well taught…
Back in the 1980s I would get a straight razor shave once a week. I was working construction in Salt Lake City. The barber was old school, his shop was located on the 3rd floor of the building I was working on. He would always show me the first towel and say its the dirtiest towel he ever saw! After I moved it took 10 years before my next straight razor shave, which was in San Francisco. Best thing a working guy could ever get!
Very true! Nothing compares to a steaming hot towel to get all that dirt from your pores. I remember shaving a drag artist once, and that was all make up!
Patrick, 2 things...... 1, i wished i lived near you so i could have this treatment. 2, you need to fo more videos, man i could listen and watch your vids all day
Just saying this guy being shaved didnt have a big beard either like a long beard or luscious beard. You are a woman or then you mean you cant grow a big beard. Because even this guy didnt have much beard. If you got some beard at least then you can go for a shave. Im just saying
Excellent production! There's just nothing like a master barber giving a great shave. I agree with folding the blade and putting it away if not in use. I had a barber shaving me once and he got into a political conversation with another person in the shop. The way he was waving that blade around in front of my face, I just knew was I going to make the papers.
Now this man is a definite master barber. His technique is simply fantastic when it comes lathering the client, applying the right pressure and stroke when using the straight-edge razor, and making sure the client has a pleasant experience at the barber shop. Very well done. 😀
So I commented on your page a long time ago about me being a barber and getting into hot towel shaves. Well I just finished one and the biggest issue I have is my lather getting super dry even if I relather. I’ve tried doing a more wet lather and I even keep a cup of warm water beside me that I dip my fingers in to apply to the skin to try and get the slipperyness back. And still I struggle a bit. End result comes out great just takes me way longer on my passes than it should. This is my process 1.hot water on the skin feeling for bumps 2. Pre shave oil/pre shave cream (massaging it in the skin) 3.hot towel 4.lather 5.First pass 6. 2nd towel 7.a little more preshave oil followed by lather 8. Second Pass 9. Cold Towel 10. Aftershave and or moisturizer 11. Talc Powder Any help would be greatly appreciated
+Rob G Hi Rob. Thanks for your comments. The shop is Jack Rabbits Barbershop in Winchester, Hampshire, UK, which is owned by my friend. If you're ever down our way let me know....
i really admire the care you take to satisfy your customer, i like how you used "psyche" of the customer to give him the full experience of absolute luxury. If you were in my city i would be there 3-4 times a week, thank you for the video.
What made you wanna be a barber? Been thinking about pursuing it, but wanted a wise opinion. Stinks that over here we can't use brushes and can only use shavette blades. Really love your passion to doing whatever you can for your client.
Few things are more important to a man than a good barber. I see mine every two weeks and he is able to pick up our conversation right where we left off. In some ways it is almost therapeutic. Great barbers become great friends.
I see you're located in Winchester. I'm soon visiting London and would like to stop in for an appointment. Any additional info or suggestions how to get there would be appreciated. My first UK visit!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. May I ask what kind of razor you are using in this video? Do you have any suggestions on razors and blades? Thank you so much.
Thanks Gib! The razor is a Turkish Sedef razor, paired with a Permasharp Professional single edged blade - in my opinion the perfect combo! Turkish barbers are shaving tough Turkish beards all day long and if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me....
At 56 yo, i can count may a few dozen times I made really great shaves that were extremely pleasant during and after. Watching this, makes me want to go to a professional barber shop and walk away with an amazing shave.
Thank you. Over here in the UK I've trained many beauty therapists in wet shaving. It is a great way of persuading men into the salon and introducing them to your other services.
I'm kinda torn I'll be honest..I've had a good classic hot towel wet shave and it was a treat..expensive but hey..women pay out the nose for hair styles and manipedis so it only makes sense that a guy getting a haircut and a luxury shave like this should expect to pay more...especially if they use actual shaving cream and not a cheaper gel that they buy by the tub load. Anyway, I've had one shave like this and while expensive (around 85 bucks in early 2020 before things went to pot) for a hot towel wet shave, haircut and shoulder massage (nice little combo), it was a nice little treat for myself..but I'm torn because I want to get another one but I do like how my beard looks..I look younger without it (I go from in my mid 30's to mid-late 20's when my face is fully shaved) but I do like how much more mature my beard and mustache makes me look, and it takes me a good 5-6 months to grow things back a decent amount. Rock and a hard place for me, doesn't help that I don't have a whole lot of choices where I live for places that offer a hot towel wet shave with a straight razor..there's like...2 that I know of.
Wonderful! I've been to UK many times but never been to Winchester.. and I have a beard for the last 4 years... let's see if I can make it to Winchester next time.. if there's any place where I shave my beard, this is the place.. wonderful ! Best wishes :)
This video is absolutely amazing. You sir, are an artist. I've got a question for you. When I shave, I have to do one passage against the grain, otherwise I'm not happy with the result. It may be as you put it, and is my OCD kicking in. I use a straight razor and my technique isn't that bad but I simply cannot get the results I want without going against the grain. Do you have any advices for me? Best wishes from Portugal and merry christmas
Hi Pedro. Thank you for your comments. If you can shave against the grain and it doesn't irritate your skin then there is no need to change anything! It's only a problem if it causes irritation or ingrown hairs, which it does for most men. So it's not a problem unless your skin says it is! Hope you have a happy Christmas.
Awesome looking technique. It would be an amazing experience to have that type of luxury shave. Can you recommend where to get good quality shave towels from?
Rod Weiland hi Rod, glad you enjoyed the video. For shaving towels I always use terry nappies! They are a nice loose weave and heat up really quickly in the steamer. They are also not too heavy on the face. And they’re cheap as well!
Easily one of the best, most relaxing shave videos I've seen. almost worth a trip to England on its own.
Thank you. If you ever come to Winchester, UK, I'd be very happy to give you a shave!
Best shaving video on RUclips, excellent commentary thank you
This video was so relaxing I almost fell asleep watching it and I mean that as a compliment. He’s right about the hot towel, too. It’s very soothing.

still come back to this weekly, simply 1 of the best shaving vids on YT
Thank you, glad you enjoy it that much!
Not only a great shave, but very well explained and spoken as well
Best shave Ive ever seen.
Thank you Clive!
This guys great, but have you seen the legend of Angel Delgadillo?
Man!! I've seen plenty of Wet Shave Videos. But this guy know better than anyone else. Hats off Sir!!
Thank you!
That was an excellent tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this!

Patrick, 2 things......
1, i wished i lived near you so i could have this treatment.
2, you need to fo more videos, man i could listen and watch your vids all day
If I could grow a beard, I would so go to this man. When he was massaging the mans face i swear i could feel it too.
Just saying this guy being shaved didnt have a big beard either like a long beard or luscious beard. You are a woman or then you mean you cant grow a big beard. Because even this guy didnt have much beard. If you got some beard at least then you can go for a shave. Im just saying
Same, that looked so relaxing
Great tips, thanks! Also, if I am ever in the UK I would definitely stop by your shop.
+Sir Arnold You'll be made very welcome!
That was great. Enjoyed this barber's technique and explanations.
This is excellent! I would really love a shave like this one. I can feel the relaxation from just watching this video.
Everyman deserves this type of pampering, tender loving care for the face.
Great shave, and I really like the explanations behind each segment of the procedure. Barber spoke well and came over as a nice chap. Great video
George Harrison thanks George!
Great video, loved the narration.
I agree! Good shave!
I have got to experience being shaved in this manner! Really, superb technique. Excellent presentation.
This guy is amazing. Everything he’s saying is true and it’s like he knows about me and my beard and my issues without ever having met the guy.
By far the best shave I’ve seen to date. Great job! I hope to get this good and offer hot towel shaves in the future! Thumbs up!!
Very relaxing to watch, and a high quality shave. Would love it. But that guy didn't look like he needed a shave
Well the next time my wife asks me what I want for my birthday this has got to be it.Total pampering for any man.Looks like bliss.

What a barber - he has thought of everything !! I wish I was near him, I'd give my shaving stuff a rest for a day !!
Thank you Jim. If you're ever near Winchester in the UK please come and see us!

Excellent! I love a hot towel straight razor shave . So relaxing .. and I have them shampoo me after the shave .
Shaving at its absolute best. Classy and relaxing.
Please, you should post another shave video
God how I would love to sit in your chair, but being in Canada it's a little bit hard. Really nice and relaxing job you do !!!
I'll know I made it in life when I find wherever this shop is and get a shave from you. The attention to detail is impressive sir. Well done
+Rob G Hi Rob. Thanks for your comments. The shop is Jack Rabbits Barbershop in Winchester, Hampshire, UK, which is owned by my friend. If you're ever down our way let me know....

KILLER SHAVE NICE JOB SIR
THECOORSLIGHTKING thanks!

A great 18 minutes for the gent getting the shave, me for watching it and the barber too who obviously loves what he's doing. Well done.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
1 of the best wet shave vids i have seen well narrated from start to finish.
Few things are more important to a man than a good barber. I see mine every two weeks and he is able to pick up our conversation right where we left off. In some ways it is almost therapeutic. Great barbers become great friends.
I go to an Algerian gentleman who has the memory of an elephant. I enjoy our conversations immensely.
I see you're located in Winchester. I'm soon visiting London and would like to stop in for an appointment. Any additional info or suggestions how to get there would be appreciated. My first UK visit!
I shave with a safety razor at home and love it . I get a barber shave a few times a year and it is great . Thank you for a great video .
A true master of his profession. Great shave!
Thank you Shane!
My yank ears always hears a soothing voice when listening to a Englishmen
You really should do more videos, this wet shave demonstration and your commentary is excellent.
Thank you Jonny! More are planned - it's just a matter of finding the time...
The only reason I wanted a beard was to get this treatment, watching this video made me calm and happy.
Really felt like I am getting the shave.. Great video.. Keep up the good work.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. May I ask what kind of razor you are using in this video? Do you have any suggestions on razors and blades? Thank you so much.
Thanks Gib! The razor is a Turkish Sedef razor, paired with a Permasharp Professional single edged blade - in my opinion the perfect combo!
Turkish barbers are shaving tough Turkish beards all day long and if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me....
The Wet Shaving Academy Right on, thank you so much for the info! I'll definitely check them out! :)
If I knew where and when this was going to be filmed I would have made an appearance walking past the windows dressed as a giant willy
ok
😂
Fantastic - I feel really relaxed just watching this. You are a true professional an artist even.
Thank you. If you're ever near Winchester you can come and experience it yourself!
At 56 yo, i can count may a few dozen times I made really great shaves that were extremely pleasant during and after. Watching this, makes me want to go to a professional barber shop and walk away with an amazing shave.
This seemed to be the masterclass! :)
Thank you!
As a Yank it's great to hear British English...it's a dance of the language.
Ade Edmunson has a new career.

I'm not a guy but I think this looks amazingly relaxing

Thank you Stephen. More are planned, as soon as I get some spare time!
Jason is so ultra relaxed. I want to be Jason.
Would this result in a better shave then shaving with a Mühle r41 or a rockwell 6c on two passes?
Awesome!!! Perfectly explains!!!
Thank you Gabriella
This man is the best!
nice shave, interesting narration, thanks for posting
Thank you Nigel.

Hello barber. Great shave. Is that a Turkish Sedef razor you are using?
Thank you. It is a Sedef razor. Always use them, with Perma Sharp single edge blades.
Why did you stop making videos?
Great video, I loved every minute and i kept envying your client
Excellent Job sir :)
Thank you, Ahmed, great to know you enjoyed the video.
You are welcome
no lie this makes me want to cut off my beard so i can get this shave
I know you said this 4 years ago, but I thought the same damn thing! Cheers, Walter!
