About The Art of Shaving

Mastery Is in the Details Perfecting the art of shaving since 1996 The average man will shave 20,000 times in his life, spending 139 full days in front of the bathroom sink. Frustratingly, many will spend those 139 days treating shaving as a chore. They’ll experience razor burn, skin irritation, in-grown hairs, and other issues their lives would be better off without. That’s unfortunate, but it’s why we’re here to help. We were founded in 1996 by a husband-and-wife team on the premise that time spent shaving should be time well spent – not treated as an unpleasant task, but rather, as a ritual to take pride in. In the twenty-six years since, we’ve grown from a single shop on New York’s Upper East Side to an internationally beloved brand. Through it all, we’ve never lost sight of our purpose: To help men upgrade their morning routine and solve everyday skin concerns in the process. For decades, our Master Barbers have helped men perfect their look in our BarberSpas®, caring for their individual skincare needs in the process. We’ve placed that real-life expertise at the heart of everything we do. Because no matter your personal style—whether clean-shaven, bearded, stubbled, or mustached—developing a regimen tailored to your skin-type and using quality products crafted with 100% essential oils makes a world of difference. Your face is a masterpiece, and you deserve to treat it as such. Trust the artists. – The Art of Shaving Team Read their story
