What a great shave. The one that started it all puck and container #001. When I first opened up my barbershop, I wanted to ensure that it was an old-time traditional barbershop that would’ve been at home in the 1800s as it is today.
When talking to my partner Chris Lindsay of CBL soaps we wanted to come up with the perfect tombstone era, shave soap, and aftershave that would give the user the feeling of being back in the old West. With sent notes of:
fresh citrus, cool cucumber and sharp and floral jalapeño, leather, suede and spent gunpowder . notes of tumbleweed ( Russian thisle ) and sun baked terra-cotta clay
CBL did a masterful combination to really capture the old Westfield of a traditional barbershop with Hombres Barbershop. This was the original so it has a real big place in my heart and of course it was followed by the ever popular spaghetti western.
Today’s shave was done with a Gillette DE razor that I picked up somewhere. Don’t even remember where I picked it up somewhere.
Threw a brand new persona blade and went to town. Since this is my barbershop signature sent of course I’m bias, but it provided a wonderful three pass shave. The applicator was the gray dog Tucson cholla cactus brush.
Three passes wonderfully DSBB, some talc, and of course, the Hombres aftershave to finish everything off
Have a great day everybody
