The Art of Shaving Barber Spa, New York, USA

There is no better way to reward the gentlemen in your life than with a luxurious, engaging sensory experience at The Art of Shaving Barber Spa in New York. The Art of Shaving Barber Spa’s most popular service, the Royal Shave®, which begins with a hot towel that is gently wrapped on the face. Immediately after the face is massaged with a pre-shave oil to protect the skin and soften the beard.

Next, warm shaving cream is applied and the face is shaved twice, once with the grain, and then re-lathered and shaved across the grain for the perfect shave.

The face is then wrapped in another hot towel while the barber prepares with fresh ingredients the after-shave mask seconds before it is applied to the face. The after-shave mask rejuvenates and purifies the skin, and replenishes nutrients lost during the shaving process. Once the mask has dried, it is removed with natural sea sponges soaked in lemon essential oil.

Finally, hydrosol rose water is applied and the face is massaged lightly with after-shave balm to replenish natural moisture.

The Art of Shaving Barber Spa is a unique concept that combines traditional barber services with aromatherapy skin treatments, all of which are performed by our expertly trained Master Barbers in the luxurious surroundings of their spas. Giving it the unmistaken feel of a true gentleman’s club.

LONDON April 29th 2011 — Prince William and Catherine Middleton sealed their wedding vows with a traditional kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace Friday as millions in London and around the world roared their approval.

The short peck — and a slightly longer smooch a couple of minutes later — followed a glittering service at Westminster Abbey in which the prince and the newly created Duchess of Cambridge were pronounced husband and wife.

The kisses were followed by a traditional fly-by of vintage and modern planes from Britain's Royal Air Force. About two hours later, the couple surprised crowds gathered outside the palace by emerging in a blue convertible Aston Martin and driving around for a few minutes. The car was decorated with a multicolored ribbon across the hood and dragged what appeared to be tin cans, a traditional British touch.

The couple took their vows at about 11:15 a.m. (6:15 a.m. ET) with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, officiating.

The prince, 28, dressed in the resplendent red tunic of the Irish Guards, appeared to initially struggle to get the wedding ring, made of Welsh gold, onto the elegant, tiara-bedecked Middleton's finger.

William said "I will" in a clear confident voice, when asked if he would "love, comfort, honor and keep" Middleton, 29. She appeared slightly emotional as she repeated her vows.

The prince was spotted winking at his new bride — the first "commoner" to marry a prince in close proximity to the throne in more than 350 years — after they exchanged vows.
