Hot Lather Shave

[BushwoodGirl]

Does anyone know of a place where guys can get a hot lather shave in the Leonardtown area? (Gatton's said they don't.)

I'm not aware of any place that does it. Sadly, that kind of thing has faded away with the times.

Sanitary issues. You know how it goes – one complains and the whole industry changes to avoid lawsuits or what have you.

Straight-razor barber shaves began to die with HIV-AIDS appearance many years ago. And the band played on.

I remember my grand daddy getting a hot lather shave from Gatton when they had the Rt 235 Barber shop back in the late 60's every week !

The only place I know would be The Art of Shaving in DC and Pentagon City:

The Art of Shaving - Barber Spa

Toby's in Lex. Park used to do it. I don't know if they stopped recently.
