Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Traditional Hot Towel Shave include?

A straight razor shave using hot towels to soften the skin and beard beforehand - a proper, old-school shave done right.

How is this different from the Straight Razor Head Shave?

This one's a facial shave, focused on beard and skin rather than the head - same straight razor precision, different area.

What do the hot towels do?

They soften the skin and beard, opening things up so the razor glides cleanly for a closer, more comfortable shave.

Is this shave suitable for sensitive skin?

Our barbers are trained in straight razor technique and take skin sensitivity into account, so it's a controlled, precise service rather than a rough shave.

How often should I book a Traditional Hot Towel Shave?

It depends on how fast your beard grows, but most clients find every week or two keeps things looking fresh and sharp.

Traditional Hot Towel Shave in Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Shaving at home gets the job done, but a Traditional Hot Towel Shave is something else entirely. The service at Chaps & Co follows the full classic routine: hot towels to open the pores and soften the hair, warm lather worked in properly, a cut-throat razor taken over the face in the direction of the grain, a second pass against it for the closest finish, cold towels to close everything back down, and an aftershave balm to settle the skin. Nothing is ever rushed, nothing is skipped, and it's nothing that you could replicate over the bathroom sink at seven in the morning. Visit one of our Dubai and Abu Dhabi barbershops to experience for yourself the kind of shave most men have only read about.
