Can you still get a good hot lather / straight razor shave in Tokyo? I’m staying near Shinagawa station.(English speaking or at least communicable if possible)

Hiro Ginza in Gotanda (2 stops away from you).
I’ve never used the Gotanda location, but the Ebisu location is fantastic.
There are a couple of young ladies in Shinjuku who’ll give you a proper straight razor shaving. Although I don’t know if they do the face, their English skills are low to none, and their prices are rather steep…

I go to [this](https://goo.gl/maps/HhbrtY5m3HmDdK259) one, but no idea about their English skills tbh.

The only barber I know in Japan who will use real straight razors (that he hones himself) is BEACH in Ota-ku.
