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.

What should I know before booking a shave?

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.

"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."
