Never thought I would spend fifteen minutes watching Haircut and Shave, fascinating...

When the Barber is wearing a GMT Master, you're not getting much change from a tenner.

Already feel more civilized after watching this for 10 minutes. Very James Bond

When your barber wears one of the most sought after Rolex watches….. you know he’s good!!!!

Getting shaved with a clean face is the most Kirby Allison thing that you could do...

The vibe and atmosphere in a high end barbershop like this is always so incredibly relaxing and comforting.

Lived in London a few years for work. T&H was about 15 minutes from my office building and I'd go nearly every week for a shave or haircut. The service was always phenomenal. One of the things I miss most about living there.

The class and civilization in this video makes me hate every single haircut I have ever received in all my neighborhood barbershops. 🤣🤣🤣

[pizzademonXX]

I sincerely hope, we don't loose this tradition, like most things that are quickly slipping away. Really enjoyed this video.

I was at Trufitt and Hill last year for a 50th birthday shave,
Travelled in from Toronto!
Micheal was the best,
It was an amazing experience.

[aprilezell]

Gave this as an experience for my husband and nephew. They loved their time there and said they were treated exactly like this ~ so this treatment from T & H is not just for celebrities or YouTube. This is how they do business. 💯

[EdRo]

Even I felt relaxed just watching this.

As a gentleman who lost his hair some thirty years ago. I am very jealous!

[johnshields]

Before I lost my hair, I'd been going to T&H for about 30 years. I still remember going with my grandfather in the 1980s to their Old Bond Street address, then Grafton Street, before they moved to St James's. First it was Wendy who did my hair, then mainly Ola. Michael too sometimes, and even Mr Dennis would have a go every so often (when he could stand cutting it as short as I liked it as a student!), and there was always the friendly face of Mr James clearing up my bright red hair. A lovely little oasis of calm, and a fond memory. I recently found some big old T&H glass jars (presumably once for storing or disinfecting equipment?) in an antiques shop in Morayshire, and these are now part of my bathroom!

Yessir, a most excellent celebration of traditional ways.

Scissor game has to be on point for a proper haircut. Too many barbers relying on the clippers. You need scissors for finesse and shaping

[rustybearden]

My fantasy would be to spend a month in London, staying at the Savoy and seeing all of the sights, a concert at The Royal Albert Hall and O2, visiting Saville Row and having a full custom fitted bespoke wardrobe created with John Lobb shoes and boots, Lock & Co hats and all of the related accessories including custom luggage to bring it all back in. As many trips to this marvelous barber shop as I could manage - all the while chauffeured back and forth in a classic Rolls Royce or Daimler and dining at all of the classic spots. Always loved the classic British gentleman's style and manner - still do. Great post!
