The art of a proper grooming.

An independent grooming lounge on Devoils Lane. Precision fades, hot-towel straight-razor shaves and considered beard work — unhurried, and done exactly right.

our story

A decade of the finish.

Tucked down Devoils Lane, Blackwood & Co. has been Bishop's Stortford's grooming lounge since 2015. We took the traditional barbershop and gave it room to breathe — leather, low light, single-malt calm.

Every chair is unhurried. A skin fade blended to the millimetre, a hot towel drawn slow, a straight razor finishing the line. This is grooming treated as a ritual, not a queue.

The most relaxing hour of my month. A faultless cut and a shave that feels like a small ceremony.
