More information

What's Included

A focused grooming treatment for a clean, smooth result.

  • Short consultation to check skin sensitivity and your preferred finish.
  • Deep cleanse and energising scrub to lift dead skin and soften stubble.
  • Hot towel and steam prep to open pores and relax the beard.
  • Rich lather and precise blade work with the grain, then across if suitable.
  • Optional light shaping around sideburns, beard or moustache as requested.
  • Cool towel, soothing balm and protective moisturiser to calm the skin.

Who It's For

Ideal here in Brighton when you want a barbershop-quality shave with brighter, smoother skin. Suits busy days, pre-event grooming or when you simply prefer a professional finish.

Also helpful if home shaving leaves irritation. The prep, technique and aftercare are tailored to your skin and beard growth for a comfortable, close result.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow 30 minutes for the full service. First-time clients may wish to allow a couple of extra minutes for a quick consultation.

Booking before an important event? Same-day is usually fine, though if your skin is very sensitive you may prefer the day before.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Rinse with cool water later that day and avoid hot showers, heavy exfoliation, saunas or intense workouts for a few hours. Use a gentle moisturiser or balm and avoid alcohol-based splashes.

Mild redness is normal and should settle quickly. Apply SPF the next day if you are outdoors. Book whenever you want a fresh, clean shave, with many clients returning weekly or before meetings and occasions.

    I’ve never had such a comfortable and high quality shave, in such a professional atmosphere. Peter is extremely friendly and customer-oriented.

Frequently Asked Questions

How close is the shave and will it irritate my skin?
You can expect a very close, comfortable shave. Hot towels, steam and a protective lather reduce drag, and the technique is adjusted to your beard and skin. Mild redness can occur and usually settles quickly.
Can you shape my beard or moustache instead of a full shave?
Yes. We can edge and shape around your beard or moustache as part of the service for a clean outline. For full beard restyles, a separate beard service is recommended.
What should I do before my appointment?
Arrive with a clean face and avoid heavy moisturisers or exfoliants that morning. Let us know about any sensitivities, recent peels or cuts. If your beard is very long, a short trim may be done first.
Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Often, yes. We tailor prep and blade work to minimise irritation and avoid shaving over active breakouts or open cuts. If your skin is very reactive, we can adjust the approach or advise alternatives.
How long will the result last and how often should I book?
Results typically feel smooth for one to three days, depending on growth. Many clients book weekly or ahead of key events to keep a crisp, clean look.
