Went to Marek for a skin fade after a bad one elsewhere. He took his time, fixed the line at the back and told me how long it would hold. Booked again before I left.
Tom H. · Skin Fade
★★★★★
First proper wet shave of my life, on the morning of my brother’s wedding. Yusuf was calm, my neck has never been so smooth, and there wasn’t a single nick.

★★★★★
