TRUEFITT & HILL

AS WE CELEBRATE At the luxurious Truefitt & Hill barbershop in Bangsar Shopping Centre, A-Listers Wan Azim, Jeanbasri and Captain

Joe experienced royal-class facial grooming in classic-Kingsman style, or what the twocentury-old British establishment aptly calls The Ultimate Shaving Experience ‒ essentially Truefitt & Hill’s signature Traditional Hot Towel Wet Shave, combined with a deep relaxing face massage.

The ceremonious ritual starts off with the barber settling the client into a state of total relaxation. He then proceeds with applying Truefitt & Hill Pre-Shave Oil before wrapping the client’s face with a hot, wet towel for approximately two minutes. Next, the barber lathers Truefitt & Hill Shaving Cream using Truefitt’s Badger Hair Shaving Brush until it turns into a creamy texture that he then applies across the area that needs shaving. He performs the shave artfully using a traditional razor beard shaver.

Once the first shaving is done, the barber preps the client for the second shave with a gentle application of Truefitt & Hill moisturizer. Following the second shave, a wet face towel in normal temperature is placed over the client’s eye area, while the barber applies powder onto the shaved area. This brings him to the trimming stage, carried out using an electronic razor or scissors to ensure precision and a clean, final touch.

After trimming, the towel will be removed, only to be replaced with a second hot towel service for another two minutes. A soothing cucumber cream is then applied, followed by the final and third hot wet towel. Simply kick back and relax as the barber brings the experience to a refreshing finish with a 15 to 20-minute face massage followed by a calming cold wet towel.
