Benefits of a getting a professional, straight razor shave at Weldon Barber Spokane – Part 2
You’ve already learned that Weldon Barber Spokane, in all four locations, offers professional straight razor shaves. Plus, the benefits of a Weldon Barber Spokane shave were discussed in our last post. You get a relaxing experience that also exfoliates, stimulates the skin, and promotes the production of collagen … resulting in skin that looks and feels smoother and younger. Here are more benefits!
No More Nicks, Cuts, or Razor Burn
An important first step that our skilled barbers at Weldon Barber Spokane take is to moisten the beard with hot towels before beginning the actual shave. Most men simply apply soap or plain water to their beards, and then shave away, setting themselves up for cuts, nicks, and razor burn. A hot towel treatment before the shave softens the skin and stubborn facial hair and all but guarantees a smooth and effortless shave.
Our barbers also use shaving creams specifically designed to moisturize and protect the skin, ensuring a smooth shave and a healthy and youthful appearance. Furthermore, the extra-sharp blade guarantees a close shave, but not too close to irritate the skin.
Finally, our professional barbers use a single blade instead of multiple blades for the simple reason that multiple blades tend to pick up debris and rake it across the face, embedding it into the skin and causing irritation. You’ll discover just how much more comfortable it is when there is only one blade moving across your skin instead of two or three. Continue reading “Perfect Shave, Weldon Barber Spokane – Part 2” »
Benefits of a getting a professional, straight razor shave at Weldon Barber Spokane – Part 1
Weldon Barber Spokane offers straight razor shaves. Why? Shaving is a routine chore that most men engage in at least once every day. These same men, however, often avoid letting their barbers give them a professional shave after getting their hair cut, either because they feel they don’t have the time or simply won’t allow themselves to receive this extra pampering. These men simply aren’t aware of the many benefits of receiving a professional shave from one of our trained barbers at Weldon Barber Spokane.
A Masculine Version of a Facial for Men
Getting a “hot-towel, straight-razor” shave is the male equivalent of getting a facial. While men may balk at letting someone give them a facial, they can still receive the benefits of one by getting a professional shave instead.
Our barbers use a special, ultra-sharp straight razor which exfoliates the skin, removing the top layer of dead skin cells. Moving the straight razor across the skin, going WITH (instead of against) the grain of the beard, is a form of microdermabrasion which also stimulates new cell growth and collagen production. As a result, your skin will look and feel smoother and younger.
Look for part 2 of this Weldon Barber Spokane series about the benefits of a getting a straight razor shave. We’ll explain why you’ll have ‘No More Nicks, Cuts, or Razor Burn’ with a professional shave at Weldon Barber Spokane (and Spokane Valley).

Visit Weldon Barber to see if a pomade is right for you
The barbers at Weldon Barber Spokane recommend a pomade for more stylish haircuts and for that “messy” look.” Pomades add shine and control and maintain a pliable hold. If you want a slick sculptured or heavily textured style, pomade is for you.
American Crew makes one of the best pomades for men. American Crew Pomade for Men:
Provides excellent hold, shine and control
Great for curly or straight hair
Great for slicking hair back
A small amount of pomade will add shine and smooth the hair. However, you will get a limp and greasy look if you apply pomade to fine hair or use too much. You might even need to wash your hair multiple times to get too much pomade out!
To apply a pomade, scoop out a small amount; rub it in your hands to emulsify it and until it becomes warm. Apply quickly and evenly to damp or dry hair.
Visit Weldon Barber Spokane to see if pomade is right for you and to learn how to apply it properly.

Weldon Barber Spokane and American Crew have a lot in common. In the 1980′s and 90′s many neighborhood barbershops began to close, while at the same time many salons were opening and catering to women.

Weldon Barber Spokane and American Crew understand that a growing number of men are concerned with their appearance and want to look their very best. This image-conscious trend applies to men of all ages and backgrounds.
Weldon Barber launched in Spokane in 2004 and now has four locations in Spokane and four in the metro Seattle area. While you will see a red, white, and blue striped barber pole on the windows, inside it’s an environment completely geared for men. “Like a den, Weldon Barber features masculine colors, rich leather chairs, and a flat screen TV tuned to sports. But what really sets Weldon Barber apart is the consistent service offered by its licensed and trained stylists.” (Vance Corridors, Winter 2010)
In Spokane, as well as in all of its locations, Weldon Barber offers an affordable luxury for men. But it caters to a wide range of clients. Business professionals, father/son duos, and distinguished gentlemen alike all enjoy the experience. The Weldon Barber shops also provide mine’s hair and skin care products

Weldon Barber Spokane is Your Source for Bosley Hair Restoration Products!
Are you concerned about thinning hair? If so, you’re not alone! Weldon Barber Spokane has partnered with Bosley, the most recognized hair restoration brand, to bring you solutions for thinning hair.
Why does hair get thinner? Hair and scalp conditions change over time, leading to thinning and in some cases, baldness. Quite a few factors influence this: stress, exposure to free radicals and UV rays, genetics, and hair follicle sensitivity to the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (D.H.T.).
While “pattern baldness” can occur in both men and women whose hair follicles are sensitive to D.H.T., we at Weldon Barber Spokane see men who would like to experience thicker, fuller-looking hair. Better yet, they would like to re-grow their hair, if possible.
Doctors at Bosley, in cooperation with hair stylists and barbers, partnered to create Bosley Professional Strength products. Weldon Barber Spokane is now your one–stop shop for thicker, fuller hair:
1. Bosley Nourishing Shampoo – removes toxins such as D.H.T.
2. Bosley Volumizing Conditioner – infuses body and shine
Weldon Barber Spokane and Bosley also offer healthy hair treatments that are proven to re-grow hair and slow down or help halt hair loss in some cases! You will be happy to know that Bosley Professional Strength products are sulfate free, paraben free, phthalate free, and vegan.
This St. Patrick’s Day enjoy some of the very “green” products that Aveda and Weldon Barber Spokane offer.
