Towel Steamer for Shaving

Towel Steamer for Shaving

Barbershops across the country have been continuing to install and have hot towel steamers available for giving their customers a hot towel shave using a professional hot towel steamer.

As barbers continue offering the best and most popular services for their clients, men have learned that hot towel shaves are affordable, enjoyable, and one of those extra services that leave them feeling cleaned and groomed as part of their hair cutting and grooming experience.

Even though most men shave at home and complete the job themselves, they have learned that having a barber give them an excellent professional shave is both relaxing and a way to add an easy and enjoyable change to the typical “shave and haircut.”

What makes this a different experience from shaving at home is the use of a hot towel both before and after the shave is complete.

 

 

Not only does using a hot towel for shaving create a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but there are also significant benefits from using the warm compress that barbers can explain to their customers which include:

 

Provides a Close Shave & Opens Pores

Applying a hot towel to the customers face, the pores begin opening up as well as the hair becomes softer which assists in giving a truly close shave.

Only using shaving cream does provide a clean and adequate shave, but after the moist and hot compress has been removed from the customer’s face, and a shave is completed there is always a noticeable difference in the results. Most clients agree their face feels more “soft” and “pleasing” to the touch.

 

Say Goodbye to In-grown Hairs

A hot towel used before shaving regularly is excellent in assisting the removal of ingrown hairs on the face. When using a straight razor, there could be some tiny drops of blood that appears which is from ingrown hairs being pulled out.

This only lasts a small amount of time, and the blood spot and bump will quickly disappear.

 

 

Gives a Closer Shave

After applying the hot towel, the hair is softened, and pores are opened, meaning the shave that is received is much closer than the typical shave from only using shaving cream.

Shaving in the direction of the grain also increases the closeness of the shave. Customers will notice much softer and radiant skin after a towel shave.
