18|8 Elm Grove has combined the classic barbershop with the modern salon to offer the men of greater Milwaukee area grooming services unlike any other. We\u2019ve included the most iconic and timeless of them all, the straight razor shave. Even though the evolution of the disposable razor has improved the tiresome process of shaving, it\u2019s still a chore that most guys would probably rather avoid. That\u2019s where 18|8 Elm Grove comes in. We\u2019re so good at it that it\u2019s not uncommon for our guests to fall asleep while receiving a straight razor shave. Let\u2019s face it, that level of trust is about the highest compliment you can pay your barber.<\/p>\n
Our Shaving Method<\/h2>\n
At a fundamental level, shaving is about removing unwanted hair. But how that mission is accomplished varies widely. At 18|8 Elm Grove, it\u2019s a relaxing and luxurious process that includes a series of Bay Rum hot face towels, professional-grade products, and extremely well-trained barbers wielding the highest quality razors.<\/p>\n
Regardless of the shave service you select, you can expect for your service to start with aromatic hot towels to open your pores, high quality shave oils to soften your hair, and the application of shaving products with a badger brush to help your hair stand up. Based on your hair, a combination of cream, gel, and hot lather will be used during the shave. <\/span>A first pass will remove most of your hair; after a second application of shave oil, more hot towels, and a fresh blade, your barber will make a second pass to ensure that you receive the closest shave possible. Your service will conclude will a selection of products to protect and moisturize your skin, prevent ingrown hairs, and close your pores.<\/p>\n Just like our approach to haircutting, we invest in ongoing shave education and adhere to an advanced method to ensure that we deliver an exceptional experience for our guests. Our 14-step shaving protocol combines a combination of strokes \u2013 freehand, backhand, reverse freehand, and reverse backhand \u2013 to tailor the shave to your hair type and growth patterns. This is the traditional straight razor shave, modernized and perfected.<\/p>\n For the bearded gentleman, this is the Classic Shave treatment on the cheeks and neckline.
