What makes a Scuttlebutt Hot Lather Shave different?

We take an old-school ritual and elevate it. Every Scuttlebutt shave comes with steamed towel prep, lather applied by brush, and clean razor work — all done with care and precision. You’ll leave feeling relaxed, sharp, and ready for anything.

What do you use during the shave?

We use premium lather, steamed towels, and high-quality straight razors. Every shave is finished with a skin-soothing aftercare product to reduce irritation and leave your face feeling refreshed.

Can I combine a shave with other grooming services?

Absolutely. Many clients pair their Hot Lather Shave with Beard Maintenance for a full facial refresh. Just book both services and we’ll make sure it flows as one seamless session.

Our Hot Lather Shave includes a steamed towel treatment, rich lather, and a precise straight razor shave performed by a Master Barber. It’s designed for comfort and sharp results. If you have very sensitive skin, let us know — we can adjust the pressure and products to suit you.

What Clients Are Saying About Our Cuts

"My son booked with Matty who was absolutely amazing! He had a bad haircut the day before, he totally fixed the cut and my son walked out beyond happy. He also took the time to explain what products to use and how best to style his hair. Highly recommend!"

"The shop is beautiful. Absolutely stunning, and a great experience. I also had the best haircut of my life with Kyle. It was the first time the cut looked exactly like what I had pictured in my head. Fantastic experience."

"I’ve been getting my hair cut here for 5+ years now and have never had a bad experience regardless of who cut my hair. I typically see Jake or Miki, and wouldn’t go anywhere else on the Seacoast. I got cut here before my wedding that’s how highly I think of their work."
