For gents who like things trim and proper, we’re proud to announce the opening of Ted’s Grooming Room in Holborn. Ted and barbering we hear you ask? Well let us explain…
Now, the art of barbering is a long-standing Turkish tradition, dating back to the time of the Efes and the Ottoman Empire. Now Ted isn’t quite that old, but he is a well-travelled gent. In fact, it was while he was having a wander through the backstreets of Istanbul that he discovered the joys of letting a man attack him with a razor.
Understandably apprehensive, he soon relaxed when the history of their craft was explained. You see, Turkish barbering is a skill that’s handed down from generation to generation. A master barber only passes on his title (and razor) to his apprentice after many years of training – which is nice to know.
Anyway smothered in hot towels, splashed with astringent lemon cologne and given a full face massage, Ted found the entire experience incredibly relaxing. Not to mention, the closest shave he’d ever had; and without a moment’s hesitation decided to bring this experience to the UK and open Ted’s Grooming Room. After all, he knew plenty of gents who liked things trim and proper.
