A True Pall Mall Gent - Tom Hiddleston

 We’re not unaccustomed to the odd celeb spot here at Pall Mall Barbers, but when Thor star Tom Hiddleston turned up for a wet shave last month, we were pretty excited. And so were you, apparently - when we tweeted a snap of Tom looking all chiselled and cool in our barber’s chair it was retweeted and favourited hundreds of times within minutes.

Hollywood royalty Tom had his luxury wet shave with us on September 16^th, as part of a photo shoot and an interview with the Evening Standard published on Friday 18^th October. Modelling Gucci, Mulberry, Acne and Prada in a series of Mad Men style settings and shots, Hiddleston looked every bit the dapper gent, right down to that luxury wet shave. Tom was in town to promote Thor 2, which hits cinemas next week. For those not yet in the know, Hiddleston plays Thor’s evil brother Loki in the comic book saga, directed by Kenneth Branagh.

Our Trafalgar Square store even played host to the fashion shoot – Hiddleston was snapped drying his hands off on a towel in his barber chair, wearing a Bottega Veneta shirt and Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra watch. General Manager Dan had the task of wet shaving the War Horse star and Old Etonian, who found him to be a ‘top guy’ - great to chat to and full of admiration for our profession.
