Lived in London a few years for work. T&H was about 15 minutes from my office building and I'd go nearly every week for a shave or haircut. The service was always phenomenal. One of the things I miss most about living there.
Gave this as an experience for my husband and nephew. They loved their time there and said they were treated exactly like this ~ so this treatment from T & H is not just for celebrities or UA-cam. This is how they do business. 💯
@@heywoodjerbloumeCheck their website for their service menu and pricing. I may be in London in late summer and I am seriously think of getting the shave before my flight home. £55 for that. But that scalp massage sure looked relaxing. 🤔
just for information - its either a "Hommage" looking quite similar - or a fake - wrong endlinks and no cyclops.. :D I am a watch guy and didnt like seeing this on his wrist. Video is very good in general. Thank you
My fantasy would be to spend a month in London, staying at the Savoy and seeing all of the sights, a concert at The Royal Albert Hall and O2, visiting Saville Row and having a full custom fitted bespoke wardrobe created with John Lobb shoes and boots, Lock & Co hats and all of the related accessories including custom luggage to bring it all back in. As many trips to this marvelous barber shop as I could manage - all the while chauffeured back and forth in a classic Rolls Royce or Daimler and dining at all of the classic spots. Always loved the classic British gentleman's style and manner - still do. Great post!
@@CaptainWillard830 That would cost tens of thousands of pounds. The cheapest room at the Savoy for a full month (I used July 2025) would be just shy of £27000 alone!
Most of England is saturated with Turkish Barbers, which are money laundering fronts and drug dealers… some small villages have 3 of them - absolutely no way a small village has enough men to sustain 3 barbers….
Before I lost my hair, I'd been going to T&H for about 30 years. I still remember going with my grandfather in the 1980s to their Old Bond Street address, then Grafton Street, before they moved to St James's. First it was Wendy who did my hair, then mainly Ola. Michael too sometimes, and even Mr Dennis would have a go every so often (when he could stand cutting it as short as I liked it as a student!), and there was always the friendly face of Mr James clearing up my bright red hair. A lovely little oasis of calm, and a fond memory. I recently found some big old T&H glass jars (presumably once for storing or disinfecting equipment?) in an antiques shop in Morayshire, and these are now part of my bathroom!
MY challenge these days is finding a quality barber to deal with my decidedly thin hair. It looks its best very short. Of course, it is the details around the edges that count the most. Then their are an old man's bushy eyebrows and the extraneous hairs that pop out of the ears and so on.
As I was preparing to visit London several years ago, I booked an appointment with T&H. It was one of my ‘bucket list’ items and I felt it was worth every penny. The staff were delightful and made for a great experience.
If he wore a bowler hat, it would be Kirby's derby. If he suffered from a lack of vitamin C, it would be scurvy Kirby's derby. If he staggered, it would be swervy scurvy Kirby's derby. There is obviously some arcane truth hidden here...or perhaps not.🤔
The Englishmen may be proud and thankful to have such fine traditional companies. Please do this for the next centuries as well! I hope in heaven men will need such shops too.
Come to England and you will see, even in small villages 2, 3, 6 ‘Turkish Barbers’… which amount to drug and money laundering fronts. UK is a sinking ship sadly, invaded daily by 3rd world savages.
Really Truefitt & Hill is a must in London. I bought there some shaving creams and aftershaves. The quality is superb indeed. Thank you for your presentation, it was amazing. Cheers.
This place is amazing. i went here for a bucket list tick for my 50th, and Mike was my barber on the day. Amazing chap and so polite. Defiantly worth the time and money spent.
Decades ago, I stayed at Brown's Hotel. Their premises included 'Henry, the Gentleman's Hair Dresser.' Whenever I visited, I got an Edwardian haircut and Henry's own line of hair oils and whatever. He is also a barber worth remembering.
After countless years and countless wasted dollars going to corporate hack shop, I finally splurged on a true gentleman’s barber shop I found in a nearby town. Maybe not quite the legacy of T&H, but man! What a difference! Worth every penny and I’ve never looked back. Now I want to go to London!
This is an excellent haircut and shave from this hairdresser specialist who does his job with pride and joy, passion and love for his profession. One may feel lifted out of the ordinairy when leaving his chair!!
When returning to the guards depotback in the early 70's i and my fellow cavalry men would have a similar cut and shave on the toilets of waterloo stn.
I used to go to Truefitts in Old Bond St. always to Mr Beard and where Gordon did the bookings and took one's coat. There were nearly a dozen barbers working there then. Such a pleasant experience..
I really enjoyed this video, having never experienced anything like this. The presenter is excellent, seemed to enjoy his experience and offered an interesting historical perspective. Thank you.
I have always wanted to get a haircut and a shave at a very nice establishment such as this. Maybe someday. Thank you for the video I really enjoy all of your work. Very best regards Ron
Fascinating process and professional cut and style I worked in a salon for a bit myself and never did men's cuts nor shaving and sure all his customers boast of service for sure. Interesting the method of washing hair opposite to anything I have done.
Excellent service and a professional barber good ole Britannia. Thanks for sharing this video. When I go across the pond to London in the future. I would go here to get my haircut and shave all the works. This is probably $300.00 or so.
I have been fortunate to have experienced a head massage and facial from Michael at Truefitt & Hill - an hour of luxury. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.
You didn’t show the brand of shave soap since the lid was upside down but recognized the bowl as Taylor of Old Bond Street. It’s my favorite brand. I use sandalwood!
@@alexfranchuk9608 of course I was just going off of the shape and color of the soap tub as you can not read the top of the lid. That is the exact shape and color of TOBS sandalwood, but also of Truefitt’s ultimate comfort shave bowl.
I like to get a shave and haircut when I go on vacation. A couple of years ago, I went to Taylors of Old Bond Street. It was...disappointing. Not really the barber's fault, but the shop set up felt like an afterthought rather than a proper barbershop. Just a tiny room towards the back with lots of staff foot traffic going back and forth. Last year, I went to T&H. Much, much better experience from beginning to end. Lovely shop. Outstanding shave and haircut. Next month, I'm back in London and have lined up an appointment with Geo F Trumper at their St James shop. Can't wait!
Just purchased some 1805 shaving crème after watching you video 😁excellent video and all the videos you make 👍👏 Thank you Sir 💂♂️I was a sapper too short for the Guards 😂

Never thought I would spend fifteen minutes watching this while being bald lmao

When the Barber is wearing a GMT Master, you're not getting much change from a tenner.
155 quid for haircut n shave
@@Arfabiscuit Wait is this a joke or are you serious?
@@Jomaxp$120 for a combo haircut and hot shave in their Chicago shop. Not too bad really given the time used.
@@Jomaxp Yep he is serious. I think the max package costs £250.
@@EK00481 Well, the part with stopping by there on my next journey to London it’s probably gone then
The vibe and atmosphere in a high end barbershop like this is always so incredibly relaxing and comforting.
Agree. It's part of what you pay for. I for one am always happen to fork it over.
Yes I'm in the very atmosphere as well
It was like a shaving in the Library
Wood, shelves and gloves and all
Already feel more civilized after watching this for 10 minutes. Very James Bond

Probably a folex, no barber unless he owns the shop is making that kind of money.
I was at Trufitt and Hill last year for a 50th birthday shave,
Travelled in from Toronto!

Michael takes such pride in his work, a work of service that makes the client feel excellent! Traditional crafts that we must not allow to disappear!
How refreshing it is to see someone take such care and pride in their profession and do it with a spirit of excellence and grace.

Superb cut… Barber wearing a Batman Rolex👑
'Batgirl' on the jubilee bracelet I believe, but yes very nice!
Me just gazing enviously for 16 minutes lol. The man seems so knowledgeable about his craft. He's done a brilliant job. I wish I could live like this.
Observing the entire process has been very enjoyable
Getting shaved with a clean face is the most Kirby Allison thing that you could do...
Kirby is silly.

Kirby annoys me.
kirby tries way too hard
@@thlee3 he's a wanker dressed like a banker
Pinnacle of classic work! Great stuff!
I’ve had this haircut for this gent at Truefitt and he is phenomenal. A real passion for his work. Inspiring
What a sublime experience delivered with mastery by a true consummate professional. Excellent video. Bravo.
Well Mr Chamberlin, you clearly took one for the team on this occasion. Thank you for all your hard work.

Great video. Barber was a master. What a wonderful advertisement for Truefitt.
Thanks for the hard work, Tom.
Thank you
I always enjoy watching someone who is great at his or her craft. Very pleasant video.
Now that’s a service I would pay for!!!
Barber is a honorable profession
Men's grooming, men's tailoring, history of male fashion and style, men going shopping in any capacity-- I'm fascinated by you guys.

What a pro, the way he cuts and such, it's like he's on autopilot, he doesn't have to think about what he's doing because he is a master at it.
Brilliant barbers. We need more places like this.
I love the ticking of the clock in the background
5:50 this suave hunk is wearing a Rolex GMT Master-II "Batgirl" - on a jubilee bracelet..
Pure class.
Ohhhh how did tge algirythm find me im a middle aged mum but im loving this channel and feeling proud of my british heritage
Notice the host knows the barber, but the barber always addresses him as "Sir". It's good etiquette and customer service.
Absolutely brilliant video, it has got to rank in the top 3 of this series. Inspired me to put some of Truefitt's West Indian Limes cologne on.
OMG! If only I could get that kind of pampering at the salon I’d be there every week without fail!

Love all your episodes. Hair does not all grow at the same rate. It varies due to age, sex, ethnicity, hair type, health, stress; the list goes on.
I would love to have this done right now . I have experienced it a few times and you feel so amazing every time they are finished ...
As a gentleman who lost his hair some thirty years ago. I am very jealous!
Same. Not 30 years though
Very nice. Excellent service. Will visit there asap.
