G&F Men’s How To: Shave

The perfect shave doesn’t only mean a hairless face, but instead includes the right finesse and products to leave skin as soft as a baby’s bottom. Tucked away in the Cowshed Spa of the new Soho House Chicago, the men’s retreat is a hidden gem that we’re happy to share. We’re dishing with its barber, Frank O’Connor, who teaches us the art of shaving—from graceful brush strokes to the harmonious graze of the blade. As a 3rd generation barber, Frank has an old school, no nonsense approach to shaving and facial maintenance. Along with his step-by-step shave guide, Frank is also serving up two of his essential products from the Neville line at Soho House Chicago.
