With this combo, there is not much else to say except.... Nirvana Pefection in a shave, especially with the face we are on another approach to the surface of the sun. To be 107 degrees today UGH! All made bearable with this stuff

Folks have been asking about the Differences in Hombes and Hombes Dos. Here they are subtle but noticeable

The Original:


HOMBRES PREMIUM SHAVE SOAP ( SOLD OUT ) PM me for shop availability​


The sign on the door says “Hombres Barber Shop”, when the doors is opened you are greeted with a smile and a lingering scent that is distinctly Tucson, fresh citrus, cool cucumber and sharp and floral jalapeño. As you walk deeper into the old school western styled barbershop, a rich cloud of leather, suede and spent gunpowder envelopes you. Just as the door closes behind you a final rush of hot air carries in the faint notes of tumbleweeds and the earthy scent of sun baked terra-cotta clay from the courtyard.

Slide on in Hombre, you are about to enjoy a real, old world barbershop scent experience custom-made for Hombres Barbershop in Arizona. *Scent available in Tonic and Soap.


HOMBRES DOS SPAGHETTI WESTERN ( avail at www.cblsoap.com )



The sign on the door says “Hombres Barber Shop”, when the door is opened you are greeted with a smile and a lingering scent that is distinctly Tucson…this time with a Spaghetti Western twist. Rich Sicilian citrus (Bergamot, Lemon, sweet & bitter orange) top notes blend seamlessly with faint notes of tumbleweeds and the earthy scent of sun baked terra-cotta clay. Finally, a cloud of rich leather, suede and spent gunpowder envelop your senses.

Slide on in Hombre, you are about to enjoy a real, Spaghetti Western inspired old world barbershop scent experience, custom-made for Hombres Barbershop in Arizona.

*Scent availabile in Tonic and Soap.


Hombres Dos – is made using the newest non-tallow base, designed special for this project. A semi-firm soap hot poured into a tub for easy loading and lathering. You will absolutely LOVE the rich, creamy lather that is easy to whip up and slicker than Billy goat snot.

Hmmm, well Barbers used to be surgeons... I am still a licensed ParaMedic, I could probably muddle through, and I host a Radio Show, + I used to be an Insurance Broker so I could handle the Malpractice claims Good Fit

Back to the shop, and back to more regular shaves after 5-weeks of Shaves across the Decades

So Scottish peaty goodness was on the agenda for today, and Machrie was perfect. The Dorko is still scary sharp and ver smooth for a DSBBS shave

Finished off with WH, Talc, and the Machrie Aftershave and EdT

A perfect way to start off the week

Hope you have a Wonderful Wednesday

I propose a mandatory rule that says that this soap may only be used while sipping on Arran scotch. All in favor, say aye!

Send me some Arran scotch and I will. I’m kind of, as you know, on a cigar kick as of late.😎

2nd flight with the Hoffman’s and every bit as good. Soap was very easy to dial in, and is wonderful in all metrics. One item noticed with this woody fougere. It is balsam and Cedar all day long, with the pine and juniper hanging around. Not linear at all, and nice and unique fragrance that lasts from the soap to the edp.

It should be mentioned the shampoo bar is also very nice

The Aces was at home with this combo, of course, and DSBBS after 3 strafing runs at the target

Lost AC at the shop yesterday so it was a rather interesting day with fans and a portable swamp cooler
It’s limping now until we can either fix the control board, or a brand new unit.

Hope everyone has a great day

And yesterday was one of those miserable desert days......it's been cooling down and now BLAST FURNACE!!!! for a few final days. That sucks. Hope they get ya up and running again soon. Or just fill several coolers with adult beverages and make it a lounge.

Nice early morning shave with the new Hombres. A nice nod to the original with the Italian flair, perfect to honor Sergio Leone and the movies that this soap represents.

The Cactus razor was excellent for 3-passes and all the other goodies made for a nice “Matchy-Matchy Shave

Have a Fantastic Friday Folks
