The Ultimate Shave
Let’s face it--men have a lot of hair. And many of us spend a lot of time trimming, sculpting, or even removing it. Body hair especially seems to be the biggest nuisance for today’s modern gentleman. But taking care of facial hair is something we love, and something that the modern gentleman can enjoy and embrace with pride. If the eyes are the window to the soul, then a man’s facial hair might be said to be the window to a man’s ideal vision for himself. What does a full beard say? A mustache? Stubble? An immaculately shaved jaw? These are questions that each man must answer for himself--and the best thing is, we’re always free to experiment with every type of facial hair imaginable.
Facial hair grooming is, above all, a ritual. As Somerset Maugham once said, “Behind every shave is a man’s philosophy.” From the razors we choose, to the scent, texture, and brand of our shaving creams, and to the type of aftershave or post-shave balm that we love, shaving should be about taking the time out of your day to care for yourself. A shave should relax, refresh, and rejuvenate; it shouldn’t be about a quick scrape of the jaw in the shower before rushing off to work. And don’t forget the pleasure of creating a look that expresses your own individuality and sense of style.
Whether you’re comfortable with your beard look, and have stuck with it for years, or if you’re looking to try something new, it’s always a good idea to have an expert give you advice and good shaving care. Especially if you’re venturing into new territory with regard to your facial hair shape and length, heading to a barber is a safe bet. We know all about beards and it’s our passion. You can rest assured that, whatever style you choose, you’ll leave with the absolute best version of it.
At Sorek we offer a Hot Towel Shave, a Beard Detail, and a Beard Detail with a Half Shave. The Hot Towel Shave is designed to give you that perfect, flawless, and timeless look of a clean-shaven face. We use a piping hot towel to soften the hairs and relax the skin, followed by an expert straight-razor shave, and then finished with a cold towel to tighten up the skin and leave you feeling awake, energized, and refreshed. The Beard Detail is a blend of barbering techniques used to achieve your desired beard and facial hair look. We guarantee that it will be the cleanest and crispest look your beard has ever had. And with the Beard Detail and Half Shave, we also line your beard up with a straight razor. Both Beard Detail services are also done with our hot towel treatment.
And you certainly won’t have to worry about razor burn or bumps afterward! With our full line of skincare products from Anthony, such as their After Shave Balm, you’ll be good to go. The After Shave Balm absorbs immediately to help to reduce razor burn, while gently restoring skin’s moisture, instantly soothing skin after shaving. And it’s a grease-less balm to reduce minor razor burn and redness while restoring skin’s moisture. Cornmint and eucalyptus instantly soothe skin after shaving, and vitamins A, C, and E nourish skin.
If you’re looking for the perfect shave, look no further. The bottom line is that Sorek will give you the best shaving and/or beard trimming experience in Austin, along with our personalized, boutique atmosphere where our staff care deeply about each and every client.
