Reflecting the establishment’s approach to barbering, blade & brother is decked out with old-world prohibition-style decor. Everything, from the plush swivel chairs to the vintage wallpaper would be perfectly at home on the set of Boardwalk Empire. The exception, of course, is the fridge that is stocked with frothy beverages to offer freshly shorn gents a cold beverage. Overhead, everything from Led Zepplin to rhythm and blues cranks out from the speakers as the cherry on the sundae of excellence that is blade & brother.

Put your faith, and your face, in the staff’s capable hands, they offer all of the traditional services including a wash and cut, a relaxing head massage, a little beard maintenance and straight razor shaves. blade & brother can cater to all styles, from trendy mod-inspired haircuts that would make English punk band The Jam proud through to a tidy short back and sides. They are not limited by boundaries and encourage you to follow your instinct when it comes to your mane. With Matt Rogers and Ky Hurst among the venue’s clientele, you’re in good company. blade & brothers also carries up to 15 different types of pomade (yes, there are 15 different types of pomade) including King Brown Pomade and American brand Layrite so you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to post-groom styling.
