Thread: visit to las vegas

I will be in las vegas in september, I went online and it looks like the royal shave now is in caesars palace, does anyone know if this is the new location, or can they recommend a place in vegas.

I have heard that the Art of Shaving is pretty good. I believe it's in the Luxor. However I have never been there.

When I was in Vegas I searched out Truefitt and Hill. It is no longer located in the Forum Shops. It is now in the Mirage. Once you go into the shopping center there, look for a beauty salon (I don't remember the name, sorry) and Truefitt is located inside the salon. Takes a little bit to find, but well worth it.

There's an AOS at the Mandalay bay and Fashion Show Shopping Mall. T&H is at the Mirage.
At the Wynn you can find an apothecary that sells Penhaligons EDTs, T&H products,...

This reminds me... I too will be at Las Vegas in August for one night only... Staying at the Luxor. Always wanted to visit a truefitt and hill. There is an AOS somewhat locally..

Any experience with the Truefitt and Hill shave? I love their products

I have not had the opportunity to recieve a shave from AOS, however I did get one from T&H while I was there. Absolutely top notch. Extremely close, no irritation what so ever. It felt almost like he was dragging the spine across my face rather than the edge it was so smooth. I even dragged my buddy along, who has very sensitive skin and has never had a straight shave in his life before, and he had the same feeling as me.

Thanks for the great info. Do they use real razors or a shavette at the mirage, I can't wait to give it a try.

They use shavettes, but it doesn't take away from the shave. Most high end shops like T&H and AOS will use disposables for hygenic reasons. However, the gentlemen who shaved me said that he has had patrons bring in their own razor and brushes in the past and he shaves them with those.
As such, if you are keen on gettin it done with a real razor and not a shavette, then bring yours along and see if they will use it. However, those shavettes are wickedly sharp, and the barbers are artists with them, so it makes the shave very smooth.

There is also an Art of Shaving inside the Palazzo, next to the Venetian, across diagonally to the Fashion Show. I've been there a few times, took my dad for a shave on Father's day. Dave Mancusi is the master barber and a real nice guy.
