DRESS LIKE
TOM HIDDLESTON He might play a trickster on screen, but the Thor actor’s red-carpet look is no joke THE SUIT Tom Hiddleston’s navy and burgundy Gucci suit, as worn to the Thor: Ragnorak premiere, is a clever blend of quirk and geek. To ape the overall vibe, try the Monaco Dots Pattern Wool Suit (£1,710, gucci.com/ uk/en_gb) from Gucci’s ready-to-wear collection. THE SHIRT Cut and hue are important when selecting a shirt to go beneath such a pattern-filled suit. Keep it light blue and opt for sharper points, as found on Eton’s Contemporary Cotton Shirt (£120, flannels.com). THE TIE Tom’s abstract tie is gloriously retro yet humble enough to play second fiddle. Choose a tie with a defined (but not dominating) motif or texture, like Canali’s Silk Geometric Tie (£100, selfridges.com).

STYLE NOTES
WET SHAVE LIKE A PRO Sick of flaying your skin each time you shave? Ruffians barber Richard Tucker has some advice... There’s been a huge resurgence in traditional wet shaving in recent years, with sales of open razors on the rise. However, it’s possible to get a super-close shave from a three- or five-blade safety razor. Richard Tucker, head barber for Ruffians (ruffians.co.uk), an awardwinning barbershop and men’s lifestyle destination in London, has years of experience performing wet shaves, so who better to ask for advice? “The oldest trick in the book is to have a shower first. This warms the face and opens the pores ready for shaving,” Richard begins. “Alternatively, use a hot towel. You should exfoliate the skin beforehand, then lather up your soap and shave. Avoid shaving against the grain of your hair”, he explains, “and take the time to understand the direction of your facial hair growth, otherwise this will cause ingrown hairs and spots.” So what about the razor? “A double-edge safety razor is a happy middle ground between a Gillette and a straight razor. In many ways, the three- or five-blade razors get a closer shave than a single/open razor due to their design.” For those keen to explore shaving with an open razor, it’s best to take a class first. “It’s easy to cut yourself if not approached properly. At Ruffians we offer a shaving masterclass for those who want to learn.” To finish your wet shave, Richard advises applying a cold face towel to close your pores. “Then use a light moisturiser, as the hot towel or shower will have soaked up a lot of the skin’s moisture. Also, avoid spraying aftershave to the areas that have been shaved as the chemicals in aftershaves can irritate the skin.” D EC E M B ER 2 017 T3 2 9
