A proper wet shave with a straight razor, performed by a trained barber can be one of the most relaxing ways to spend an hour. So it seems obvious to have this scene live on its own as an ASMR video for people to enjoy!
This is the full version of the wet shave that was done for Kirby at Truefitt & Hill in London, which made up the final part of our 'Gentlemen's Day Out' video with Tom Chamberlin of The Rake Magazine.

Kirby is the type of Gentleman to shave before getting a shave
😂😂😂
lol
Kirby is cheap clown
And he still has ingrown stubble 😂
@@TripleR250 he is very white and his hair is dark so even shaved he gon have that lol
Kirby is the type of Gentleman to read up before visiting the library
Kirby is the type of Gentleman that will clean and press his suits before taking them to the cleaners just to tell them they did a great job on them.
No point in copying comments
@@tommy2guns220 no point in copying english words. 😘
@@tomastoth3839 i am english you melt lol
Sheep.
Kirby is the type of gentleman to clean his house Before his maid/ cleaners stop by
😂😂
Lmfao I have done something similar before
You get more bang for your buck that way, truthfully.
I do that actually 😹
My cleaners would get irritated with me sometimes if I didn’t clean my place beforehand lol, then I pay them
Every time I go for a haircut I also get a shave, and I almost fall asleep in the chair every single time.
Just so calming and relaxing
I cannot stress this enough, every single man on the planet NEEDS to experience a wet shave. It is the best 100$ you'll ever spend on yourself to just, relax
Aww, i fall asleep during a hot towel shave at a barbershop😂
@@XMorbidReignX, had one in Hong Kong, circa ‘91, cost HK$20 = £2. Very pleased but shan’t be having another.
Have one everytime I have a haircutost barbers in the uk do one
I’ve been traditional WetShaving for about 6 years now and it’s a hobby for me now, I’m all up in the fourms, Facebook groups etc, there is surprisingly a big community of people who like to do things the old fashioned way. I use fountain pens, shave with vintage Gillette safety razors, straight razors, roll my own cigarettes, use a zippo lighter, shine my own shoes, it’s awesome. You get the best shaves too. I definitely fell down the rabbit hole. I have so many classic and artisan shave soaps, SilverTip badger brushes, safety razors, vintage Dubl Duck and J.A Henckel’s straight razors that I hone myself on Japanese whetstones.
Something that used to be looked apon as a chore, we now very much look forward to. It’s our ZEN moment of the day when we can just put on that Frank Sinatra Pandora channel and just make believe your in the 1950’s 🎶 💈😁🤙🏻💈
I used to think you were a snobby douche bag that is a know it all and was a fake rich guy but my perception of you changed. Just because I grew up differently than you doesn’t mean I’m tougher than you. Nor does that mean that your of higher class than me. It’s all about how you treat others and what kinds of morals and values they represent in their day to day interactions with people.
I’m a fan 🤵🏻♂️ 👏🏻
The older I get I’m starting to buy less Jordan’s and more Allen Edmonds

Same here. Writing with one of my 20 or so fountain pens, driving my nearly 30 years old car, shaving with a proper razor, using pre-shave cream, proper shaving soap, good aftershave. It´s my little escape from the usual allday stuff. Something to remember the gold, old times.
At first I read that as “6 hours now” so I thought it was joke until I got a little further down. I agree through just because something takes longer doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing. Sometimes it’s about how something feels to do
@Charlie Bojangle you know its fun
@charliebojangle9542 bahhahahah my thoughts exactly
If men wore bras, had periods, there'd be a whole luxury industry around those too 😊
Mans got there with one day worth of stubble and went out with half day worth of stubble
He said, "can you shave my already almost perfectly shaven face?"
I was thinking the same thing, like asking a hairdresser to comb your hair.
Some people shave everyday like Gentlemen, like our parents and grandparents used to do.
Kirby is on vacation here in London and he probably treated himself to a shave at Truefitt & Hill for the morning instead of doing it himself that day..
Kirby has always shaved every day. On this particular day, he had it done professionally and got to relax and have some ASMR while doing so. Facial hair doesn't grow that much in less than 24 hours
Lived in London for 3 years and Gino at Truefitt & Hill was my barber! Thanks for bringing back great memories!
How much it costs?
Just 150 euro
@@RaviRaj-jx2ib oh , i will do it myself..thank you😅

Is it just me or is there no difference whatsoever before and after?
Its not you. I saw absolutely no difference, even on a very nice screen.
To be fair, there wasn’t much to shave off. Nice video tho!
Definitely not you
no difference 😂 would never understand going to pay for this but the sounds for an ASMR video are decent
Kirby should have grown his beard out before having a shave. At least 1 week of facial hair growth.
The sound quality on this is crazy good, really helps with the relaxation.
What a fantastic service, i enjoyed it myself when the barber moisturised kirby’s face at the end
Great audio and camera work! This is so relaxing.
Thank you so much!
It really is, you can sense the experience
I always watch him for the relaxation value. I am almost asleep just watching this I would be out like a baby if I was getting the shave.
@@letsgowinnietheflu5439 not if you were shaved at the the same angle he was
+10 vicarious living points as I'm 3 mins away from dragging a disposable bic blade across my mug 😇
Quality of this production is outstanding Kirby, I know i've had my gripes previously but absolutely credit where it's due here... some of the best content i've seen for a long time.
Please tell me what gripes? I’m very intrigued now.
@@JahRio_808 lol me too
No distracting camera focus hunting. A rarity in the ASMR barber/shave corner of youtube. Well done.
Great video - love Truefitt & Hill! Since being gifted an aftershave by my uncle (and visiting the shop for the first time in 2017), they’re one of my go-to brands as a traditional shaver. The creams are fantastic, with wonderful scents, cushion and glide. A must-try, whether their products, services or both!
Dude, must be crazy expensive. I can't afford more than GBP 10-15 for a cut. 😂
Good episode-could hear those whiskers just going away! Seems like a wonderful experience receiving a proper shave like that.
I loved this video Kirby and just wanted to say your tie selection on your website is phenomenal. You are a leading force in fashion and I'm so appreciative you decided to share it with us. You're the best!
Thank you! Music to my ears!
Very relaxing. Great shave. Thanks for the high quality video with superb sound.
Nobody is making better content then Kirby right now love the series!
Very kind of you to say
What do you think about gentleman's gazette
@@gulag8735
They’re creepy over there.
I just to live in England, Nottingham and got to wet shave every week!
Such a amazing experience it was, miss it so much now but one day i be back 😁
Thank you mr Allison for everything
@kirbyallison side note, but you would make an incredible extra on Law and Order as a discovered body. Your patience and stillness is of professional level.
Also, the shave looks great!
😂
Yeah, Law & Order SVU...
(kidding)
Nose whistling is so relaxing
When Jocko gets up at 4:15 in the morning, Kirby already has the newspaper ironed for him.
Kirby's channel is on fire with this incredible content
Yo, I love how the first thing on your favourites is a dude showing penis enlargement excercises. I how you got your gains
I watched the walk in london for the shaving part, glad to know i wasnt the only one to get tingles from it
Kirby is the type of Gentleman who parks his car for the valet.
These videos are pure comedy for me, i swear Kirby is doing a character the whole time.
he's so fucking pretentious lmfao
That was down right therapeutic to watch
I’m 14 and got a wet shave kit for Xmas and I’ve practiced on myself a couple times and I’ve noticed I’m pretty good at it I get a nice consistency with the soap and I don’t cut myself. If I’m this ok at it than I’ll be fine as an adult
at 14 I wasn't allowed to shave because my parents thought that I would grow a full beard overnight because of it
@@privatepylesm14funny
The shave doesn't look that close. I have seen other videos where the person is shaved three times in different directions to get the closest shave.
That's because it's not, the angle is almost 45°, its a shave that would have been feeling rough as it was filmed without the risk of a nick.....understandable but not inspiring......
Truefitt and Hill, and he doesn't even ask: Are you comfortable, Sir?
You obviously didn't go to school with the Grand Master.
The sound of razor scraping on stubble sounds exactly like a butter knife on a piece of crisp toast
I guess if you have a mic up close, bit of you use pre-shave oils, I don't think it's nearly that loud and you get a closer shave...
Ah - been waiting for this for weeks - so good to see it come out :)
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@kirbyallison Absolutely! It's a very relaxing video to watch - I shall watch it a few more times for sure. My only piece of feedback is the length - 20 mins or longer is really ideal for this type of content.
It seems to me that I see a great deal of stubble left. Is that normal for a straight razor shave?
Love a wet shave, especially from a professional, so relaxing.
KIRBY! HOWEVER, why have you not mastered the art of a fine custom made straight for yourself? The experience is exhilarating! Make no mistake, your mornings will sky-rocket with a sense of fear that gets blown away with confidence! Nothing quite like it to take charge of the day!
I have a safety razor and a straight razor. I use the safety thru out the week and then on the weekend when I have extra time to spare I give myself the full straight razor finish with the works. Followed by a couple of other self grooming activities. Definitely relaxing gives you the best shave possible and makes me leave the bathroom feeling clean confident and overall like a million bucks. My favorite part will always be making the shaving cream just love getting it to a good fluff..so satisfying 😌
@@XxMidnightToker420xX nothing like a good fluff :)
@@denisforbes Or a good bit of ‘self-grooming activity’ before one leaves the bathroom… 🤣
Had a haircut and shave by this gentleman too. Best experience ever
His five o’clock shadow is always shaved by four o’clock. 😂
I have been shaving with a classic straight razor for over 12 years now and will not go back anything else. It's a bit of tinkering with sharpening and so, but the shave is soo much better than any other kind of shaving.
Even when compared to a safety razor?
@@kirbyallison I think the safetyrazors can be good, but they are so sharp that they can be very harsh on the skin. A well honed razor is a joy to use. But its not only the shaving part, its the whole ritual with shower, preparation of the skin and the shave. Then its perhaps a touch up of missed spots and then the aftershave balm and the scent you would go for that particular day.
@@NiclasGudmundsson you realise its not the instrument you use that determines the sharpness. ie safety/ straight razor, its the blades itself as the same blade fits in both
@@GG-xo1dl No, there you are wrong, its 2 different things and is not comparable in any way.
@@NiclasGudmundsson what’d u mean. Eg a Wilkinson blade will fit in both straight and safety razor so it will have the same level of sharpness it’s just the technique in which you’re shaving will be different
This post lead me to the Truefitt & Hill in my hometown - Chicago. I had the most amazing grooming experience ever! I received a Royal haircut, as well as a wet shave. The attention to detail is absolutely mind-blowing (rare - this day in age). Upon leaving, I purchased a gift certificate for my best friend, after shave, and booked my next appointment for next month! Great job Kirby, keep up the amazing work!!
Barber extraordinaire! Kirby just love your self indulgence giving up to the pleasures of a quality experience. We could all do with the odd morning treatment like this.
I am almost asleep just watching this I would be out like a baby if I was getting the shave.
Nice Sandalwood cologne to finish off. Although 20 sprays was impressive.
It's things like this that make me really miss the uk
Second to none
what's special?
Im surprised there was no banter at the beginning. Just sit down, get to work. I could tell you were excited to be there from your smile as you sat down. Good stuff.
I definitely lost that bet too.
So this is how it's done
It's definitely relaxing
Love a perfect Wet Shave, excellent video and very lucky
Perfects a bit of a push. There were small lacerations.
From the time I was 15 until I was 67, I shaved with an Otto Fromme straight razor (Red Head No. 23 rounded end), a strop, a cup with Williams soap in it and a 80% "let-out" badger tail brush. After my third major stroke, my doctor (upon seeing me in hospital bed shaving by "Braille", without a mirror) with a semi-paralyzed right arm and hand, forbid me from using the straight edge. I "knick" myself with a "safety" razor worse than a straight razor, and don't get as good, close or as comfortable shave.
I’d love to know the colognes used in the end. That was quite a variety
he looks the same as when he came in!
lmaooooo
I would expect my shave to be much closer than that.
Kirby’s a legend for this
I must have watched too many slasher movies when I was young. Something about a straight razor on the neck gives me the willies.
I am stoked! I am getting my first proper shave done at my barber little rock ark this week.
Went to Truefitt and Hill today
Fantastic shave and haircut 💈
Jason doesn’t have a proper lathering bowl or what ?!?
Haha, I wondered the same thing. And I found it interesting that he used a straight razor rather than a shavette.
@@woodstock480 Honestly, this looks like a "straigth razor look" shavette to me.
@@woodstock480 it is a shavette
Thought the same thing man. Also that was a poor lather job. You're supposed to press down and swirl so the hairs get smothered in cream and stand up just enough for the blade to get the hairs.
@@afgpielover exactly !
I had been fuzzing with those Gilette razors or those subscription types and their cheap gels for years. Until I tried a safety razor (use a muhle) with real shaving soap. I will never go back, it’s just far superior.
I have an Edwin Jagger, i do have to say it cuts me up almost always (and i use quality blades).. Sensitive skin i guess..
@@NotstarvinMarvin Try an adjustable safety razor. They make ones with several levels of aggressiveness.
@@NotstarvinMarvin try a different closed comp razor. I use a King C Gillette , works really good for me (I am 18, with not very much facial hair) and try different types of blades , if it is expensive doesn't mean it suits your face or even if it works for others. For example I really like the derby premium blades they give me comfortable shaves without irritations but I know many that have the opposite results. I've tried 20 different brands and models of blades and still I try new ones, I know 5-6 that suit perfectly to my face and skin regardless the costs
This channel reminds me that not all has been lost in this modern era.
Kirby is the type of gentleman to wear a fragrance for his partner via a WhatsApp video call.
Kirby the Red tie with white polka dots you wore in the most recent walk around london video with Tom is that the same one for sale on your website?
Yes it is. It is also listed in the description of the video, but for speed, here is the link: www.kirbyallison.com/sovereign-grade-burgundy-white-spot-printed-silk-tie.html?queryID=bd2a497f6d6ac3b11208a0b82e9cbc52&objectID=1558&indexName=prod_default_products
It was relaxing just watching and listening to this
As far as shaves go this is pretty poor… no preconditioning of the skin.. far too short with the hot towel… it should be hot towel.. precondition the skin with a cleanser and lotion which gives the razor extra glide
Almost every shaving video on TH-cam has a customer already shaved.
I bought a thing of there shaving crème it’s worth the money it’s a light scent that sticks to your skin for an hour or so but man is it refreshing.
Can't digest two things here
1. The brush was rubbed in the sink (sinks are to clean/wash things, supposed to be dirty
2. Random blade movements. No logic with respect to the direction of beard hairs. Supposed to shave in same direction for a particular region/patch.
How many pounds they world have charged for this shave?
Kirby is the type of gentleman that steams his dirty clothes before taking them to the dry cleaners.
I wish every barbershop was like this
I was half expecting a bunch of knife wielding thugs on mopeds to burst through the door demanding Kirby's hat, cufflinks and tie pin ..
Interesting, I've HAD a T&H wet shave and prior to the razor hitting my skin, my face was massaged with pre-shave oil first, then a hot towel, then more preshave and THEN the first, of two, shave cream and razor applications.
Have they changed the process? It doesn't seem for the better..
one of the greatest things to happen this century is men returning to barber shops for haircuts and shaves
it's ok to pamper oneself
I didn't expect Truefitt and Hill to give you nicks and cuts.
Kirby is the type of gentleman who shits his pants before using the restroom at a friend's house.
Shave videos always make me want to go and get a shave. I had a shave once from a barber but she used a Bic. I really felt cheated plus she nicked me twice. I felt bad because the girl actually cried when she nicked me the second time. I never went back after that. We have a newer barber in town, actually two guys who are veterans. I think they charge about $30 for a shave and they use a straight razor. Might try them out sometime.
Nice of him to clean his sink before giving you a shave. Although not really an orthodox way of doing things.
Interesting that some advocate straight line brushing on the soap, others rotary motion of the brush. I prefer rotary myself.
Am I having a dejavu or am I watching this for the second time 🤔🤔
Extended ASMR cut from the walking tour video.
What happened to the original version of this video? Now I can only find the asmr version here on TH-cam.
Great video to relax to! Nothing better for your blood pressure than a good hot towel and shave. Can you tell me if you put any moisturizer or other products on your face before turning in for the night?
Explain me this....why would you use the sink or washbasin to put shaving cream and create lather and then touch that brush on a face??? Its a serious question isn't this a hazard???? Or is the sink dedicated for this?
So relaxing and comforting.
Oh dear,a waistcoat and a smartwatch
This was so relaxing Kirby great video
That is perfect! Thank you!
Hi Kirby
I'm a new subscriber to the channel-you certainly have some great content and I look forward to viewing it.
Sort of shave related, have you any tips for good beard care/grooming?
Thanks
Kirby shaves before he goes to get a shave.
Anything special planned for 300k? Love your videos Kirby!
My man was clean shaven when he got there lol! Great video though
ASMR at its peak
Brilliant you have hit the 300k mark Kirby Congratulations
Hey Kirby, long time watcher of your channel! I know you did a great watch video a while back, but wondered has the collection changed?
I bet you know a good deal of gentlemen who'd like to talk timepieces. Would love to see it!
Cheers,
Justin
Hi Justin,
That is a great question. It has been a while since I filmed a watch collection video. Once we finish up filming the next videos I can look into making a new one.
Cheers
Never seen the barber make the lather in the sink before... that's a new one... then he made the lather primarily on the face... which ok, not my fave, but the guy had skills for sure...
All in all - quite impressive.
It looks like he's already clean shaven before he got there.
He's got a shadow. That's not clean. :D
I've had 3 wet shaves in my life, all because I wanted to experience at least 1..so it was on my bucket list and I found 3 places that did them in my area. Now I'm growing my beard again (the first one took off the 5 year beard I had) and I think the closest I'll get to a wet shave is one that's just for touch ups and shaping as I rather like how I look with a beard...also it seems like a thing I'm inclined to do...my dad has a small beard/goatee thing going on, my little brother is similar and me..I'm just letting it go and see how long it will grow down..don't know if I'll get a "Gandalf" length but I'm wanting to see lol. Shaves for me are now more about keeping it lined up and my cheeks free of hair as I have some wild hairs that grow fairly high up my cheek bones. Also getting a wet shave is rather pricey at times due to the lack of places that actually do it around where I live..and one uses a gel instead of shaving cream so out of the 3, I only really count 2 of them.
If i get the chance to visit London this summer truefitt and hill is a must visit place for me! Ive been using their products for more then 6 months and they serve me incredibly well, worth every penny!
Wow. What dedication 👍.. keep up the good work..
Pure enjoyment, rewatching this vid.
Me, rewatching this feet kicked up on the coffee table, clad in my best T-shirt, shorts & barefoot, my standard attire ever since escaping the Western vanity fair & rat race to Asia, and thinking to myself: Fascinating, captain! Reminiscent of The Godfather and some Sergio Leone barber shop scenes. Must feel great to be still alive after this.😁 The 120 GBP shave tab seems cheap in exchange for the one million bucks feeling after that wellness procedure.
lowkey annoyed this didn't somehow take longer, lol. nice vid regardless.
Well as this was part of a long day, the actual process was done at a decent pace. We are toying with the idea of going back to film a much longer version.
@kirby Allison Great idea to film a much longer version of this.
What is there to shave mate?
Loved the sounds of the utensils
Is it weird that the barber didnt have soap in a bowl but do it directly in the sink?
1:55 did he used same brush to wash face as well as wash basin too?
