Davide Esposito 🇮🇹
The Calm Hand of the Academy
Davide is a master in the truest sense of the word, defined by depth, calm, and an unwavering respect for the craft. Within the world of the Scapicchio Academy, he is known for one thing above all else: straight-razor shaving at the highest level.
Davide’s knowledge of the shave runs deep.
Every gesture is deliberate. Every decision measured. He approaches the blade with the quiet confidence of someone who has nothing left to prove, only knowledge to pass on. His work embodies Italian elegance: refined, composed, and timeless.
In the classroom, Davide is calm and precise.
He teaches without noise, without ego. His focus is always on helping students do things the right way, not faster, not flashier, but better. He demands attention, presence, and respect for the process, because he takes the work seriously. Very seriously.
He has also proven that this calm isn’t limited to the barbershop. Davide has stepped onto big stages more than once, taking part in major events and live demonstrations, surrounded by lights, cameras, and pressure, and he remains the calm itself. The same steady hands. The same controlled rhythm. The same focus, as if the world around him disappears and only the craft remains.
When Davide is working, he is fully there.
Focused. Grounded. Professional.
The shave, the client, the blade, nothing else exists.
And yet, once the barber’s jacket comes off, another side appears. Davide is a true bon vivant, warm, generous, and full of life. Someone who knows how to enjoy good company, good food, and the simple pleasures that give balance to discipline. That contrast is exactly what makes him so respected: intensity when it matters, humanity always.
Davide holds deep respect for the Scapicchio family and the values they stand for. He sees tradition not as a constraint, but as a responsibility, one he carries with humility and pride. Learning from him means more than refining technique; it means understanding attitude, rhythm, and restraint.
If you spend time with Davide, you will learn a great deal.
Not because he speaks loudly, but because he shows you how mastery looks when it is quiet, elegant, and sincere.
