Hot towel shave, the slow ritual
Hot Towel Shave
Where can I get a hot towel shave in Dubai?
At M3 Barbershop City Walk or Detail. A hot towel shave is steam to soften the beard, lather worked in by brush, a straight razor with and against the grain, and a cool towel and balm to close.
It takes as long as it takes. That is not a marketing line — a shave done fast is a shave that leaves razor burn, and the whole reason to have it done here is that nobody is rushing.

Books hot towel shave by the hour at M3. You pick the barber, the hour is yours, and the cut is shaped to you in it.
What happens in a hot towel shave?
Hot towels soften the beard and open the skin, a brush works lather in, and the barber shaves with the grain first and then across or against it where your skin allows. Cold towels close the skin, and a balm settles it.
Will it irritate my skin?
Far less than a home shave, because the preparation does most of the work. Tell your barber if your skin reacts and they will shave with the grain only.
How often can I have one?
As often as you like — some clients walk in for one weekly as the thing they do for themselves rather than because they need it.
