A straight razor shave at Joni’s Gentleman’s Cuts takes 60 minutes and costs $75. It is done by Joni in her private suite inside Spectra Salon Suites, near Park Meadows Mall. You get a mini facial to prep the skin, hot towels, warm lather and a close shave with a straight razor, then a cool towel and aftershave.
Keeping your beard and only want sharp edges? The beard trim with straight razor line-up ($35, 45 minutes) is the better fit. More on razor beard shaping below.
A straight razor is a single open blade. In a trained hand it cuts closer than a cartridge razor and gives full control around the jaw, the lip and the neck. There is no stack of blades dragging across the skin, so there is less pulling and fewer passes over the same spot.
What you notice afterward is how smooth the skin stays and how calm it feels. Hair that has been softened with heat and lather cuts cleanly instead of being tugged, which is where most redness and bumps from shaving at home come from.
Joni works slowly and checks the skin as she goes. Nothing about this service is rushed.
The prep is most of the shave. Each appointment starts with a mini facial: a cleanse, a gentle exfoliation, and a hot steam towel with aromatherapy. Then:
- Heat softens the hair. Whiskers soaked in warm moisture cut with far less force, so the blade glides instead of catching.
- Exfoliation clears the way. Lifting dead skin lets the razor sit flat and helps prevent ingrown hairs.
- Warm lather cushions the skin. A rich shave cream holds the moisture in and protects against nicks.
- A cool finish. A cool towel and aftershave close things up and calm the skin.
It is an hour set aside for you, with nowhere to rush to. For more on the facial side of this service, see the hot towel shave page.

Combine a shave with a GQ Haircut or a beard trim in the same visit.
You don’t have to shave the beard off to get the benefit of a straight razor. Most of the razor work at Joni’s is on beards that stay: the cheek line, the neckline and the edges around the mustache, finished with a blade instead of a trimmer.
Why a razor beats a trimmer for edges
- Sharper lines. A trimmer leaves a soft, slightly fuzzy edge. A razor cuts a clean line that makes the whole beard look intentional.
- Better symmetry. With a straight edge and a clear view of both sides of your face, the cheek lines and neckline match.
- Less irritation. One clean pass with a sharp blade on softened skin causes fewer bumps than going over the same patch with a trimmer again and again.
How the appointment runs
- Consultation. Your face shape, growth pattern and how you wear the beard day to day decide where the lines go.
- Trim and shape. The length comes down and the shape gets set with clippers and shears, on dry hair so the length reads true.
- Razor detailing. Hot lather, then the cheek line, neckline and edges are cut in with a straight razor.
- Hot towel finish. A hot towel calms the skin and a finishing product goes on.
Beard Trim with Straight Razor is $35 and takes 45 minutes. Pair it with a GQ Haircut for $80.
Keeping the lines between visits
- Wash the beard 2 to 3 times a week and use a few drops of beard oil daily. Colorado’s dry air makes beard hair coarse fast.
- Brush it daily to train the growth direction.
- Leave the cheek line and neckline alone if you can. Taking them lower at home is the most common way a shape gets lost.
- Rebook every 2 to 3 weeks for a short beard, 3 to 4 weeks for a medium beard.
- Before a big day. Weddings, interviews, photos, a presentation. Book it for the day before or the morning of.
- Coarse or fast-growing beards. If you never get a truly close shave at home, the prep and the blade make the difference.
- Razor bumps and sensitive skin. Softened skin and one sharp blade often irritate less than a multi-blade razor. Tell Joni about any sensitivity before she starts.
- First-timers. If you’ve never had a barber shave, this is the full version, from prep to finish.
- Anyone who needs an hour off. Plenty of clients book it simply to sit back with a hot towel and a quiet room.
Price: $75 for 60 minutes. Add a GQ Haircut ($60, 45 minutes) for a full visit.

How much is a straight razor shave?
$75 for 60 minutes, including the mini facial, hot towels, lather, the shave and aftershave.
Is a straight razor shave OK for sensitive skin?
Usually, yes. Heat, exfoliation and a single sharp blade irritate many men less than a multi-blade razor. Tell Joni about breakouts, razor bumps or skin conditions before she starts so she can adjust.
Is this the same as the hot towel shave?
Yes. Same service, same price and time: mini facial, hot towels, lather and a straight razor shave. This page covers the razor work and the hot towel shave page covers the facial prep.
Can I keep my beard and just get the lines cleaned up?
Yes. Book the Beard Trim with Straight Razor Line-Up: $35, 45 minutes. See beard trims.
How long does a professional shave last?
It depends on how fast your beard grows. Because the hair is cut cleanly on softened skin, most men find the skin stays smooth longer than after a shave at home.
Can I add a haircut?
Yes. Book the GQ Haircut and the Hot Towel Shave together. That is $135 and about an hour and 45 minutes.
