Thanks for listening to episode 2 of the new series! My guest this week is Austin Mutti-Mewse, the brand manager at the oldest barbershop in the world, Truefitt & Hill. The brand has served monarchs, prime ministers, military leaders and the great and the good for over 200 years. They are now based in the St James area of central London.

Truefitt & Hill are known for their range of colognes, splashes and grooming products, as well as the barbering services. I was lucky enough to get my hair cut by Aldo in the store ahead of my chat with Austin and it definitely was a ‘cut-above’ (sorry, I can’t resist a hair-based pun!) I highly recommend the calm, unhurried professionalism of the team, the quality of the cut and the refined atmosphere.

Austin & I also discuss the ways the brand has modernised, including collabs with Netflix’s ‘The Gentlemen’ and with The King’s Foundation on the Highgrove range
