Hot-Towel Shaves in St. Cloud, FL
A straight-razor shave is the oldest service on a barbershop menu, and the one modern razors never replaced. Hot towels soften the beard, pre-shave oil protects the skin, and the blade takes everything down in one clean pass — closer than a cartridge razor gets, without the irritation.
At Shear & Shave the shave is a house specialty, not an add-on. Take it on its own in thirty minutes, pair it with a full haircut, or go all the way with the Royalty Service and add a facial and scalp massage on top.
Ways to take it.
How it goes.
- 01
Hot towels first
Steamed towels open the pores and soften the beard so the razor glides instead of scrapes.
- 02
Oil and lather
Pre-shave oil lays down a protective layer, then hot lather is worked in before the blade touches skin.
- 03
The straight razor
Slow, deliberate passes with the grain — the close shave that made barbershops famous.
- 04
Cold-towel finish
A cold towel tightens the skin and a cooling balm calms it, so you leave sharp, not red.
Good to know.
Does a hot-towel shave irritate sensitive skin?
It's usually gentler than a daily multi-blade razor. The hot towels and pre-shave oil prepare the skin, and the straight razor makes fewer passes. Tell your barber about any skin concerns before the lather goes on.
How long does a hot-towel shave take?
About 30 minutes on its own, 60 minutes with a haircut, or 75 minutes as part of the Royalty Service with a facial and scalp massage.
Can I get a shave without a haircut?
Yes — the hot-towel shave stands on its own at $30. Walk in or book your barber online.
