Aca Perić

Aca came to barbering because of a beard — his own. After years of experimenting at home he took a straight-razor course, and beards have been his thing ever since.

The hot towel ritual

• three towels, oil before and balm after
• a straight razor, never a five-blade cartridge
• a beard line that follows the jaw

He says a good shave isn't measured in minutes but in the quiet in the chair.
