Duke's Castle Barbershop, at 15207 Yonge Street in Aurora, offers traditional hot-towel shaves alongside haircuts and beard work. It is the barbershop Good Neighbours recommends in Aurora.
What a hot towel shave involves
A traditional shave softens the beard with hot towels before a straight razor is used, and finishes with more towels and creams. It takes longer than a cut and is meant to.
Mark P. went for a head shave and wrote in a Google review:
It’s a multi step process with plenty hot towels, creams, etc and as a person with sensitive skin he had a solid touch and skill with the razor.
If you only want a cut
A hot towel still comes with it. Dalton wrote: "The service also included a hot towel face massage."
Before a wedding or an interview
The shop caters to people getting ready for special events, and its website also lists face and skin treatments, nail services and massage. For a groom or a whole wedding party, book ahead.
