We adjust towel temperature, product choice and the number of passes to keep irritation low. Let us know any sensitivities during the consultation. How should I prepare for the shave? Arrive with clean skin and avoid shaving for 24 hours beforehand. Skip harsh exfoliators on the day and stay hydrated for a smoother result. How close is the finish and how long will it last? Expect a very close, comfortable shave. Most clients stay smooth for 24–48 hours depending on growth, with softer, more even regrowth. Can I choose clean shave or tidy stubble? Yes. We can finish glass-smooth or leave a neat stubble with crisp edges to suit your preference. Can I book this with a haircut as one visit? Yes, many clients pair it with a haircut for a full tidy. Ask when booking or call 01273 328799.
