Why Every Man Should Try a Hot Towel Shave at Least Once

In a world of electric razors and quick trims, there’s one grooming ritual that still stands above the rest—the classic hot towel shave. It’s not just about removing stubble; it’s about slowing down, treating yourself, and experiencing an age-old tradition of masculine luxury. At Costello’s Barber Collective in Henderson, this service isn’t a throwback—it’s an art form.

The Ritual of Relaxation

A hot towel shave begins with more than just warm steam. The moment that first towel touches your skin, your pores open, your facial muscles loosen, and stress melts away. The heat softens the beard while prepping your face for a close, smooth shave.
It’s a small moment of mindfulness—a ritual designed to make you feel calm, confident, and refreshed. Many clients describe it as the most relaxing part of their week.

Precision Meets Craftsmanship

At Costello’s, every shave is performed with expert precision. Our barbers use traditional straight razors, a steady hand, and years of technique to deliver a shave that’s impossibly close without irritation. It’s not just grooming—it’s craftsmanship.
We pair the shave with pre-shave oils, luxury shaving cream, and cold towels to close the pores afterward, leaving your skin smoother than any at-home routine could.

The Skin Benefits You Didn’t Expect

A professional hot towel shave does more than shape your look—it transforms your skin. The steam and exfoliation remove dead cells, reduce ingrown hairs, and promote better circulation. Many men notice their skin feels hydrated, clean, and visibly healthier afterward.
If you struggle with irritation, bumps, or dry skin, this treatment can make a real difference.

Why Every Man Deserves It

In today’s fast-paced world, taking 30 minutes for yourself might seem like a luxury—but that’s exactly why it matters. The hot towel shave reminds you to slow down, reset, and invest in your appearance and mindset.
It’s the modern man’s version of self-care—rooted in tradition, elevated by experience.

Experience the Grooming Upgrade

At Costello’s Barber Collective, our hot towel shave is more than a service—it’s part of The Groom Experience. Combine it with a haircut, black mask, or beard sculpting for the ultimate refresh.
Whether it’s before a big event or just because you deserve it, every man should try it at least once—and once you do, you’ll never want to shave any other way.
