Old-School Clean
A straight-razor shave in Eureka, CA is the closest, cleanest shave you can get — and at Norcal Barbershop it comes with the full ritual.

The Ritual
The Old-School Straight-Razor Experience
This isn't a quick pass with a razor. We start with a hot towel to soften the skin and open the pores, then work the straight blade for a close, smooth shave with the grain and against it where it counts. A second hot towel and an aftershave finish leave your skin calm and clean. It's the kind of shave you slow down for.

Book the Trim When…
