The Original superior Shave
We all know the importance of looking and feeling our best. As competition increases in these challenging times, the significance of looking smart and well groomed has never been more relevant. Yet, there is one advantage that is often underutilised by men, suggests Marshall Hall of Reds, East Herrington.
Yet, with the plethora of multi-blade razors and hi-tech shaving foams on the market, the benefits of treating yourself to a professional cut-throat shave may not appear immediately obvious to the untrained eye. However, having been schooled in the world of traditional shaving by Italian barber Joseph Lazante, the level of the attention to detail required to produce that perfect shave really distinguishes it from bleary eyes and a bic!
However, it’s not all just about the razor. With hot towel treatments to open the pores and cleanse the skin, the correct technique of producing that perfect shave is an art that takes months of dedicated training. With just a single blade, there is no more effective and efficient way to cut the hair follicle when used properly. Whilst the idea of a four or five blade razor is a seemingly attractive one, it is producing a much greater amount of friction with the skin, causing more redness, irritation, and the tightness often felt after shaving at home.
Whilst the end-result is remarkably superior, a professional shave is also an ideal opportunity to take an all-important break from a busy lifestyle. The treatment itself is incredibly relaxing: whilst the hot towel massage eases away stress and tension, the heat relaxes the facial muscles, allowing those tensions to ebb away. In a world where everybody seems to be in a rush, the benefits of taking a few minutes out of a busy schedule are countless. My clients leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and renewed.
Having spent decades experimenting with facials and massage to relax the men of the north east, it’s interesting that it’s the shaving that has proven to be our most popular choice for an opportunity to unwind. The experience, whilst pampering, is fully masculine, with Sky Sports and complimentary refreshments in a relaxed environment.
It’s time to discover an experience that for hundreds of years was an essential part of the barbering routine. In this world of time limits, targets and tension, it has never been more appropriate for a man to give himself a competitive edge. A neat, professional appearance is an investment into your future. As Tom Hopkins states: ‘you are your greatest asset. Put your time, effort and money into training, grooming and encouraging your greatest asset.’
