Refresh
Workshop
Welcome
This two-day Refresh Workshop is designed for barbers who have already completed Level 1 at the Scapicchio Academy in Bovino or a 2 day workshop anywhere in the world, and are ready to deepen their skills before progressing to Level 2.
Through an intensive blend of advanced practice and focused guidance, you will revisit and refine the essential techniques of honing and shaving with the straight razor.
Under the supervision of official Scapicchio Tutors, this course goes beyond repetition. It is about precision, consistency, service quality and confidence at a higher level. The Refresh Course bridges the gap between Level 1 and Level 2, allowing you to strengthen your foundation, correct details, and prepare yourself for the demands of advanced mastery.
What You Will Learn
You will go beyond the basics and bring your skills to a professional, consistent level. Instead of discovering the craft for the first time, you will refine it: you will learn to fully hone an open razor from A to Z, achieving a sharper, cleaner and more reliable edge.
Alongside the honing, you will put the finishing touches on your shaving technique, focusing on details such as pressure, angle, skin tension and flow of the service. You will also work on how to offer a better, more personalised experience to each client, translating what you learn directly into your daily practice, so that both your technical work and your overall service reach a higher standard.
For Who?
This course is exclusively designed for barbers who have already completed Level 1 at the Scapicchio Academy in Bovino and want to refine and strengthen their skill set before moving forward.
It sits between Level 1 and Level 2 in terms of level and intensity, but it is not part of the official pathway to become a Scapicchio Maestro Barber. For the official progression, you must have completed Level 1 (as required here) and then continue with Level 2, in order to be eligible to progress to Level 3.
During this course, participants receive direct, personal guidance from the official Scapicchio Family Tutors, with time for in-depth questions, detail correction, technical refinement and confidence-building through precise feedback and real progression in the tradition.
