Old-School New York Hot Lather Shave with Straight Razor

Step back in time with me as I experience a classic straight razor shave at New York Shaving Company, a barbershop preserving the vintage shaving traditions of the 19th century. This old-school barbershop specializes in hot towel shaves using traditional straight razors for an incredibly close shave, with hand-whipped hot lather.

They also hand-make all their own shaving supplies in-house using classic techniques and ingredients. In this video, watch as the owner John whips up creamy, luxurious lather using hair brushes and artisanal shaving soaps made right on the premises.

From the custom-blended shaving products to the antique barber chairs, everything about this shave harkens back to classic barbershops of the past. It's a relaxing and indulgent experience - hot lather, soothing towels, facials, nose hair trim, and a straight razor shave that leaves my skin refreshed and baby smooth.

Join me as I step back in time and rediscover the lost art of traditional wet shaving. Using their homemade supplies, the talented barbers at New York Shaving Company deliver an absolute old-school delight!
