01

Competition recognition

The Scapicchio Trophy.

A live straight-razor shaving competition organised at selected events in different countries. Barbers step onto the stage to demonstrate technique, ritual, service structure and control under pressure.

Your performance

30 minutes.
One complete shave.

Bring your own model with at least two days of beard growth. Any straight razor is allowed, including a shavette.

Neutral judging

One form. The same criteria.

Several Scapicchio Academy Master Barbers independently score every competitor using the same neutral judging form. Points are awarded for presence, preparation, technique, final result and mastery under pressure.

The final decision

Every point is counted.

After all performances, the scores are added together. The final totals determine first, second and third place.

Clear distinction

Workshops, not Official Levels

Master Barbers may organise recognised workshops and provide participation certificates. Official Level certification remains reserved for official Academy campuses and official Level programs.

Recognition carries responsibility

A title is visible. The standard behind it must be lived.

Every recognition has a different meaning. The Trophy rewards performance. Ambassador recognises proven Academy trust. Master Barber represents leadership built over time.
