💈 Relaxing Traditional Hot Towel Wet Shave w/ Royal Shaving Products | Oi Kwan Barbers Hong Kong
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2020
- Last year, we visited Oi Kwan Barbers in Hong Kong for a relaxing traditional hot towel wet shave with a pre-shave facial cleansing. For 58 years Oi Kwan Barbers has been serving the local community around Spring Garden Lane in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong. Originally opened by Master Lau who was from from China’s Guangdong Province and came to Hong Kong in the 1950s. The shop is now operated by his son Mark Lau.
Read more of Oi Kwan Barbers story on our blog 👉🏼 haircutharry.com/hong-kongs-t...
In 2017 Mark opened a second new shop, featured in this video, on Mallory Street and located in a restored historic Chinese house shop building. The shop was a tribute to his late father and Guangdong barbering culture. Considered a middle class barbershop, the space was a respite from Hong Kong’s urban jungle where a customer indulges in a personalized shave or haircut service.
Mark’s intention was always to preserve a part of Hong Kong’s community barbering history. Sadly, a combination of the pro-democracy demonstrations last year and the pandemic this year has had a major impact on small businesses around the world.
Mark let us know he recently had to permanently close the Mallory Street shop where we filmed this video.
However, the Spring Garden Lane shop is still going, and offers an opportunity for you to feel the original Hong Kong style of barbering. Check them out next time you are in Hong Kong!

The slight adjustments to his glasses every now and then. Yes a man of culture indeed.
He's a classy guy
An anime character about to explain the next step
Nothing calms me more than watching Harry get a class shave. Much love.
unintentional ASMR

Women have their beauty salons and we have Barber Shops....
Please keep them alive and going!
Joe from Germany
well, it`s more like women have their beaty salons, spa, and hair salons and we have Haircut Harry.
JoeHell67 I have never used this type of barber shop. CA too damn expensive for this.
Mother Earth Because we are busy making money and the women are busy spending the money.
Dying professions Straight razor shaves and Butcher shops
@@dusthue 😅
There is nothing better then watching HairCut Harry after a long day.
Love This Video🤩
you know its special when they use the products from the glass cabinet
why is it special? they r just products?
@@lenyelrivera2407 I think it's a joke 😂
Lenyel Rivera you never know. It could cost a lot 🧑🦼
@@crazemate yeah maybe lol
May be he kept everything into glass cabinet right before Harry entered the shop to make it look royal😂
I swear the best sounds come from them going through drawers.
Lol
Hahha. That could be taken a different way
agree
Yes!
You know that woman from the movie Get Out that when she hits the rim of the tea cup and that made him go to deep sleep. Well that's how these sounds on the video do to me, they send into a deep relaxing sleep.
Nothing makes me more happy than seeing a man making an honest living 😊
My nights sorted. Who needs sleeping pills when you got Harry.
I have fallen asleep many an evening with Harry's videos playing in the background.
Manny Bamberg I fall asleep watching Harry or watching video games
Cheddar Boyz same😂it’s great
I agree! Harry's videos are awesome. 👍
I do! It keeps me up because I want to watch more
That shave cream was made more precise than most baking recipes
I thought that it was an unnecessary rigmarole.
Anyone else watch these purely for this pre and post shave things?
Yea :D
Yes man ! U know what it isssss
Yes..
yeah i don’t watch the actual shave hahaha
For sure! Face massage at the end is what relaxes me! Farzad's was classic in Vancouver!
Really fascinating watching the whole process. I enjoyed this as much as your famous “are you comfortable sir?” shave video
Hi Matt - so happy to hear you enjoyed this video with Mark!
🤣🤣
I love how the barber's chair still has an ashtray in the armrest. Not that anybody still smokes, but it reminds me of the old days!
I'm smoking now......
Harry has gone from this legendary shave to mach 3 Gillettes. Hang in there, buddy.
"Oh the humanity"
@@InspectorCallahan.44 hahahaha!!!!
Mach 3 would be a step up for me. I roll with the Barbersol disposables.
Well, Mach 3 actually works very good, but I don`t buy it anymore because of its misogynist advertising campaign last year.

This looks so relaxing! My husband HATES shaving, but the onetime I dragged him to a barber for a shave, he loved it. He’d love this channel.
you can see in someone face, that they enjoy and proud of their job.
its just a beautiful thing to witness :)
I just love the aesthetics of the shop, it’s a mixture between classic and modern that makes everything clean ,professional and calm
O
It's good he grates the soap..its more hygienic that way.
Brilliant video.
Legend Has It He Is Still Preparing For The Shave Til This Day
I also hear he's running low on towels too....
Hahahaha haha and I heard cleaning bill of the towels will be paid by Harry's Government
No more " legend has it" thanks
No more "legend has it" ever again.
Out of all the shaves I’ve watched this seems to be the closest and smoothest. So much skin preparation and use of products.
With those skilled and gentle hands and the towel on his eyes my man just took a nap right there and woke up freshly shaved. Incredible work ethic and the whole experience was filled with respect.
Total attention to detail ! I love how He goes against the grain near the end. When I shave myself I don’t get a smooth shave unless I go against the grain. Best shave I have ever seen !
17:45 I've never seen "The Mummy" getting a shave before. That's got to be a record for towel usage.
Hahahaha!!!!!!! 😂
I came to the comments looking for this comment hahah. Was thinking the same thing, absolute he cleared out that little cabinet.
yes crazy amount of towels
Watch “comfortable sir” he used a lot of towels
He hehe I came to the comments section with surety that someone must have mentioned the number of towels used. I hope the Barber took enough charges so that the cleaning bill of towels would be covered
I have never heard of a shave asmr, but I also haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. What a way to spend an hour
Precise and deliberate with every move, true craftsman
His movements to me make him look amateurish. But then again he could be nervous. Each stroke is way longer than he needs ergo making work for himself.
Support him!
it really amazes me the level of perfection he looks for on his shave job, call it passion, vip service, w/e... it's still amazing to watch him take care from the most common thing to the most minuscule detail, and not stopping till he can't find any flaw in his work.
My favourite thing is the quiet rain in the background, so relaxing
1:08..The legendary glasses adjust technique!!!
I sincerely do not know why is relax me so much ... this barber is very skillful and with certain routine rhythm that it is absolutely nice!!!!!!
He looks so innocent and cute 😍
Watching this guy work you can see he has respect for his craft. It’s something you just don’t see enough anymore, someone doing the job at hand to the absolute best of their ability with care and pride. It’s a shame that craftsman like this are suffering in this pandemic after devoting their lives to their work.
This guy's awesome. 3 different pre-shave oils, took his time with care. Amazing, Thanks harry for the upload.
He used a shavette and then used straight razor, Never seen a barber use both in the same shave
This man… what can you say?
That shave was perfection. From the very start to the very end, no detail was spared.
10/10
One of the FINEST SHAVE ❤❤❤
I am equally enjoying the sounds of the busy street outside. Reminds me of life before lockdown.
Just read that he had to close this location, that sucks to hear, looks like a great place.
Is it due to the pandemic or is he closing forever?
Read the video description
sure he had to close, who can live doing 4 shaves a day, each shave took around 3 hours jaja
@@santaclaus179 shaving is an art, you sound like someone coming from Gillette or something. Good shave takes time.
@@zorkor takes time bro but not forever sorry
Great stuff Harry as usual. good to have these uploads in times of lockdown. Great technique and nice bit OTT on the shaving pots. He sure goes through the towels !
I like that he shaved his forehead. I've never had that done, but I do have a few stray hairs there.
I have just stumbled across your videos today, Harry and to be quite frank I am a huge fan. The ASMR is memorizing, I feel so relaxed. I enjoy watching the different techniques barbers use across the world.
Memorizing? Or mesmerizing?
I haven’t shaved or gotten my hair trimmed since the pandemic started.... I can’t wait to go to a shop and get pampered after rewatching most of Harry’s videos lol 😂 great vid again Harry 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Most impressive barber shop and barber I have seen in quite some time. Everything so neat and clean. Great vid Harry!👍
Tremendous barbering and another great video. Asia has been good to you and you have been good to us. As always, thanks so much to Harry and Mystery Woman!
I think this might be my favorite of all your videos. Such attention to detail and I had to sit forward several times to keep from falling asleep! So relaxing!
I couldn’t help laughing when he took all that time to beat up the lather and then pulls out the electric trimmer😂
Best shave ever. You know when he pulls that 4 inch razor from the glass cabinet, he's playing for keeps.
It's Interesting to note all the different processes taken by every different barber out there... thanks Harry
Very cool that he first uses the water bowl to make a cream, then aerates it in the empty bowl to make it a foam. Have not seen a barber do that yet.
Your videos are sooo relaxing. They're honestly some of the best around. Keep it up Harry💯✨
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 Glad you like them!
Your videos are so relaxing, I use them to sleep in night. However, must say one of the best shave ever but no one can beat the shave of Mumbai “Are you comfortable Sir?” 👍
Something oddly satisfying about the sounds of instruments, gowns and pro barber etiquette
This barber just seems like a really nice guy. Makes it all the more relaxing
A HairCut Harry video always brightens the day. Thank you 😊
That is the best shave I have seen. What a professional, organized attentive barber.
The way this dude stays falling asleep in the chair is hella me 💀 Haircuts be so relaxing sometimes.
Such pride in workmanship!
What a cracking shave harry the attention he gave is a tribute to his profession
Thank you harry I wish you posted everyday but I can always watch this one over and over 😂👍🏻
That was the most relaxing shave I have ever had …vicariously.
Hello Harry, is very comfortable to watch these videos specially the moment of hot towels and perhaps, in my opinion, this is the one with the best shave you received, almost an hour very complete!. Greetings from Buenos Aires!
Nice video Harry! I loved the decoration of this barbershop. The chairs look like they're something out of an old movie! The usage of the second razor is interesting too--don't know if I've seen that before
Thanks for uploading Harry! Please keep them coming when you can:)
Hi Henry, thanks for visiting Hong Kong!
Hi Michael - so happy we got to visit Hong Kong! We loved it 😍
**wants to relax** ends up reading thru the comment section instead.....
Another superb professional barber. The standard just keeps rising!
In this whole thing I like the silence of this room while he doing his shaving feel me comfortable and relax plus sleepy 😂
It is an art like painting or sculpture, precious and exciting. Thank you very much Harry.
Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Thanks for keeping the content coming Harry, it makes my day. Your're videos are so relaxing. You're gonna have to pick a good barber shop to go to once quarantine is over.
This guy is on another level of shaving
I've never had a shave like this before but I believe the barber would have to wake me up when he was finished... Looks relaxing!
His barbershop is so peaceful and I glad Harry try sum new every time bc people theze days think the barbers they go too all the time the best 😂😂
The rustling of his shirt is ridiculously relaxing
Sunday 12.24 AM whatching this, so relaxing
I loved the little tiny cheese grater he used on the soap.
Something to look forward to during isolation!!!! Thanks Harry
Very good shave and super relaxing. Great stuff Harry
Loving this guy's professionalism
I love watching your videos! While they are soothing to watch, I really enjoy seeing the differences and similarities in barberstry around the wrold.
Hope your doing well and staying safe Harry, great to see a new video , to help us through lockdown
My, this barber certainly takes his time giving Harry his amazing shave, doesn't he! 💈💈💈💈💈😀😀😀😀😀
Lot's of rituals done before a shave.Though these kinds of videos always mesmerizes me .
I've watched a lot of your videos but I'm jealous this time. The barber, Mark Lau, is phenomenal. I'm jealous because I wish I could go there for the same type shave you got, Harry. But unfortunately, I live in NYC. Superb ASMR in this video too. Also, that's gotta be a record for towel usage! lol
This is the least stressed I've felt in a while. Thanks for another great ASMR video Harry. I was saddened to read that this man had to close this shop that was a tribute to his dad. I hope that he can open it again in the future.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Harry curing my insomnia ❤️❤️
My fav parts about a barber shave is the pre shave and after shave.
That's a great haircut. That tapering is world class...
Shave was especially enjoyable as the Barber was a true craftsman, it was luxurious and thorough- 3 razors, 4 blades, countless hot towels, etc...Real treat near the end where traditional razor is used as well as opposed to a shavette (I collect traditional straight razors). Liked and shared 👍 Your shirt rocked 🎸 too Harry!!! 😉
Broke open the glass case, love it!
Does anyone find this relaxing to watch ?
Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoy the trip in HK🤙🏻🤙🏻
So pumped for this 😁 hope you’re keeping well an safe haircut Harry. Peace out ✌️
Hi Duane - hope you and your family are staying well too!
This guy's tool and supply arsenal is more impressive then Jay Leno's entire car collection lol.
Harry thank You very much, in pandemic times this video is like a breath of fresh air 👏👏👏
Thanks so much for posting the videos! Also staying home.
You know it was good when you nearly fall asleep!!!
What an epic shave experience! I've never seen anyone use a micro-grater to prepare the soap before.
What a ritual! Also it never occurred to me that a steel lathering bowl could double as a bell, you know, to summon the shaving spirits.
Another hit Harry! keep safe during these trying days and blessings always
As always a very good video Harry. I enjoyed watching ;D
Love this Harry! Hope you are staying safe and healthy :)
Stay safe , thanks for posting during these strange times.
