First the towel, steaming, laid over the whole face until the skin gives and the shoulders drop.
Savannah, Georgia · Straight Razor & Scissor
Established MMXIX · Four Chairs, One Standard
Four chairs. One standard. Every cut finished with a straight razor and a pour of something worth sitting still for.
We opened these doors on a quiet block off the historic squares and never moved an inch. The brick is original. The chairs are cast iron and chrome, kept oiled and cool. Nothing here is rushed, and nothing is faked. A cut takes the time a cut takes.
Come in for a scissor cut and a hot towel, or settle into the full straight-razor shave with a whiskey on the counter. Walk in when you like or hold a chair ahead of time. Cash and card both welcome. That is the whole arrangement, and it has served Savannah well.
First the towel, steaming, laid over the whole face until the skin gives and the shoulders drop.
Hand-whipped lather, brushed on warm and worked in until it stands.
The razor moves with the grain, slow and sure. No hurry, no second-guessing.
Then the fine lines, cut sharp by hand so the finish reads clean from any angle.
And a pour to close it out. Sit a while. The chair is yours until you are done.
Pull up a chair or the bench by the window. There is no rushing anybody out of Union.
Best straight-razor shave I have had since my grandfather's barber. Two hot towels, a real blade, and nobody rushing. That is the whole point.
Marcus D.Regular since 2020Walked in on a Saturday, waited fifteen minutes with a whiskey, left with the cleanest fade in town. The brick, the chrome, the whole feel of the place is right.
Terrence W.First visit, April '25Took my boy for his first cut and they made a whole moment of it. He sat like a statue. We both walked out proud. This is our shop now.
Anthony R.Father of twoThe door is open six days a week. Book ahead for the Full Service, or just walk in and settle down.
Both welcome, always. Tips appreciated but never expected. No hidden charges on the board.
A pour is on the counter for anyone twenty-one and over, no purchase required. One's plenty. We keep it simple.
Every barber here finishes by hand with a straight razor. Fresh blade every client, no exceptions.
Tell us what you're after and when suits you. We'll hold it. Walk-ins never need to ask.
