Three master barbers on Bedford Ave. Straight-razor shaves, hot-towel treatments, and fades cut clean the old way — no rush, no gimmicks.
Services
Simple menu, honest prices. Every service includes a consultation, a neck shave, and the finish work most shops skip.
Scissor work, clipper work, or a skin fade — blended by hand, styled dry, finished with a hot towel.
Shape, line-up, and razor-edged cheek and neck lines. Beard oil worked in before you leave the chair.
Hot towels, warm lather, two passes with an open blade, cold towel and balm to close the pores.
Haircut plus a straight-razor shave or full beard sculpt. Roughly an hour in the chair — our most requested.
Walk in or plan ahead. There's usually a chair open before noon and after 6pm. Prefer a set time with a specific barber? Send an appointment request below and we'll confirm by phone.
The Chairs
No rotating staff, no apprentices practicing on your head. The same three hands have been behind these chairs for years — ask for whoever suits you.
The Shop
387 Bedford Ave — a room built for sitting still for forty minutes. Coffee's on, and nobody will hurry you out of the chair.
“We kept the mirrors, the marble and the manners. Everything else, we sharpened.”Ray Castellano, Founder
Reviews
“First straight-razor shave of my life and now I can't go back to a cartridge blade. Emil takes his time and it shows.”
“Julian fixed a fade another shop butchered and explained exactly how to keep it. Six visits later, he's my barber for good.”
“Walked in on a Saturday expecting a wait, got a chair in ten minutes and the best beard shape I've had in Brooklyn.”
