The Pankhurst Cut
Scissor cut, clipper finish, hot towel, scalp massage.
DiscoverFour of the six Bentley-Pankhurst chairs in existence, sitting inside the Fairmont The Palm — and a straight razor tradition Mayfair has trusted since 2009.
Bentley Motors and Pankhurst designed six chairs together. Hand-stitched diamond leather, polished brass, the same craftsmanship that finishes a Continental GT cabin.
Two sit in Mayfair. Four sit here, in Palm Jumeirah.
There is nowhere else on earth you can be shaved in a chair like this.
Brent Pankhurst founded Pankhurst London in 2009 in a Newburgh Street townhouse, with the conviction that British barbering — the wet shave, the straight razor, the badger brush — deserved a setting equal to its precision.
Sixteen years later, our discipline crosses time zones. The same hand-honed Sheffield steel. The same cut, finished hot-towel. A British gentleman's room, opened beside the Fairmont's cigar lounge, on Palm Jumeirah.
