I took my partner here as a birthday treat because if I were a man I'd love to come here! No booking required, we turned up for a cut throat shave and were seated at the side on one of the long benches. Both of us were given a drink (a real one, with alcohol) and I note that they do cocktails on a Friday. Shame we were mid week! It looks very cool inside, traditional but with that industrial edge. There are several item s for sale including vintage razors, hair waxes etc.
My partner was given a shoe shine while waiting which was a really nice touch. They then let loose on his whiskers and I have to say it looked really nice! And slightly hilarious when they wrapped his entire face in the towel. The shave lasts around half an hour I think and he really enjoyed it, actually very relaxing too. They finished up with an orange scented aftershave, and it was a very close shave.
Other men there had beard trims/sculpts etc and the range of services seems good. It was a bit pricey but, sometimes that's all part of the experience! I wish I could go myself, it's very cool. The barbers are ace. read more
