With Sweeney Todd the demon arbour of Fleet Street being unleashed upon us recently at the cinemas who among us will brave a traditional shave. More than you would have thought, traditional shaving is making a comeback with many barber shops seeing an increasing demand for the pleasure of a hot towel a good lather and a close shave.
The demand for a traditional shave with a straight razor is not just being fulfilled by traditional hairdressers or barbers you can now get a traditional shave and a treatment or facial at a health spa. Men are becoming increasingly aware that skin care is important and that looking your best is very important.
Some spas are even offering wedding packages where a groom can come with the best man and have a range of treatments including a deep tissue massage followed by a wet shave. This almost guarantees that you will look sharp on your wedding day.
Traditional shaving is not just the domain of the barbershop and health spa more and more men are re discovering the lost are of the traditional shave at home with a range of traditional shaving equipment readily available to purchase on line.
Look for a while and you will stumble upon a forum or shaving blog that specialises in wet shaving many of them cover a range of information on technique and the best shaving equipment. Many young men have never experienced a traditional shave as they have grown up in the time of the multi blade razor with vibrating head and go faster stripes but interest in shaving and barbershop related items has increased recently this increase is being driven by the huge revival in ‘wet shaving’ by men in their twenties and thirties who feel the older, vintage, safety razors provide a closer shave.
There are many reasons to switch to traditional shaving but the main reason is a better shave.
