When I was reading a comment on a visit to London to Mrs Hobler, she authorised a visit to barber shops in London : a) Trumper in Curzon streetand b) Trufitt & Hill in St James Street,
Guys what an experience!.
I had an appointment for 3 p.m. I entered the paradise at 3 and there it was, all you possibly could ask for.But first I was guided downstairs to the seat, possibly in case of a deep cut it would be easier to dispose of me.
Marvin, a wellversed barber in his fiveties started of with a very hot towl, uff, follwoed by a very gentle application of loathe and a shave so smothe I have not yet achieved myself. There was non of those unpleseat sentiments one has when one shaves oneself. We finished with the application of an alumn stick plus skin food.
I felt very comfortable and left the shop ready for the afternoon.
Two days later, with no shave in between I headed for Trufitt & Hill. This time on the same level with the street. I was seated and waited for a lady!!! to offer me a wet shave. I had time to mavel at all the niceties in the shop; I am more into T & H products.
Well, the lady started with applying shaving oil, followed by a super hot towl, uh.
Then I was loathed and had a very clean and smoth shave.
After another hot towl and after shave balm, not to forget an extented purchase of nice products I was ready for the day.
If you were to ask me, I' d revisit Trufitt & Hill, not for the lady but because I liked the treatment a bit more.

So you're saying the women at Trufitt & Hill are homely?

Either way I just wish there was a place with the same tradition for shaving here in Denmark (we're speaking literal hours from my doorway to London, maybe as many as 2). We only have some of those "styled" barbershop places that I know of.

Oh what I wouldn't give for some of that sweet loathing from the Trufitt's women (sorry couldn't resist)
