Razor Cutting + Hand Drying — Paris | Corinna Hernandez × Ramona Eschbach

A razor cut is only as good as the way it's finished. The shape you cut is a promise—the hand-dry is how you keep it.

In this one-day Paris intensive, Corinna Hernandez teaches razor cutting and hand drying as one continuous craft: how the cut sets up the dry, and how the dry reveals the cut. From the first section to the final shake-out, you'll build shape with the blade and finish it with your hands—no hot tools required.

Taught in English at Atelier Ismérie and hosted by Paris session stylist Ramona Eschbach, this is wearable, lived-in, editorial-informed work—technique you can put to use the next morning behind the chair.
