Why get a hot towel shave? To get the best shave you can get. We apply a hot towel on your face to open up your pores and to get your skin smooth and soft. This allows the razor to make a cleaner, closer shave. A hot towel treatment is not only relaxing, but it is fantastic for your skin.
Typically barber shops in Phnom Penh use a cold water spray bottle in lieu of a proper hot towel and shaving lotion. This poor substitute does not properly prep the skin for the straight razor shave. This will sometimes lead to irritation of the skin or razor bumps. You don’t want that because razor burn is never a good look, let alone comfortable or healthy for your skin. When you try our hot towel shave, you will not want to go back to shaving yourself again. We offer 3 types of hot towel shaves:
* Quick Shave (15 min): Ideally for soft or little facial hair, or if you like to keep it simple. Before we start, we will trim any facial hair or beard. We then start a 6 step process:
- Apply hot towel
- Shave with foam 2x
- Apply cool towel
- Apply aloe vera gel
- Apply after shave balm
** Executive Shave (30 min): Designed for an extra premium clean shave, or if you have stubborn facial hair and sensitive skin. Before we start, we will trim any facial hair or beard. We then start a 10 step process:
- Apply hot towel
- Apply pre-shave almond oil 2x
- Shave with shaving soap 2x
- Apply hot towel
- Apply cool towel
- Apply aloe vera gel
- Apply coconut after shave balm
- 1 min of face and scalp massage
*** Royal Shave (60 min): We integrate and interweave our Executive Shave process with a deep cleansing facial process as part of the pre-shave and after-shave steps. This prepares the skin for a thorough cleanse of any impurities before the shave as well as luxuriously tones and conditions the skin after the shave. It is a 13 step process that takes about 60 minutes:
- Cleanse face with a cream
- Exfoliate the skin
- Apply hot towel
- Apply pre-shave almond oil 2x
- Shave with shaving soap 2x
- Apply hot towel
