by Joshua

I’ve been using the same to post-shave products for as long as I can remember. When I heard that Craig the Barber hooked up with Lab Series at Macy’s in San Francisco, I decided to stop in. As a reader of his blog I was was excited to see the man himself and ask a [...]

A Sapphire Shave

A Sapphire Shave

How much are you willing to spend for a good shave? A company called Zafirro thinks there are 99 people who will shell out $100,000. That’s right – $100,000. The name of the razor is called Zafirro Iridium. Constructed of rare metals, Zafirro bills their razor as a “quantum leap” over existing razors. What does [...]

1938 Cure for Baldness

1938 Cure for Baldness

While researching another post, I came across these two fantastic ads that appeared in Popular Science Magazine in April and May of 1938. I can only wonder how many people purchased this product. Has anyone seen one of these machines? Would you try one?

End of the world averted

Well, it looks like the US won’t default on its debt payments. Can you imagine if we did and the American public followed that lead and just stopped paying their debts? Thankfully, this has been averted for the next year. I guess that means I’ll have to come up with some new posts instead of [...]

Favorite Clippers?

Hey head shavers, what are your favorite clippers? I use the Oster Fast Feed Clipper and the Oster T-Shape Finisher TrimmerT-finisher. They are both terrific; in the 2 years I’ve owned them I’ve replaced each blade once. I’ve had some problems finding a replacement for the blending guide – that’s the guide I use on [...]

First Sun (this first son ain’t looking so good)

Finally, a break in the cold weather. The sun was shining and my pale white skin was crying out for a little color. I packed my blanket, book, and wallet and set off to the park. I had this nagging feeling like I was forgetting something…ah, whatever…it’s sunny out… An hour later, relaxing with a [...]

Hernia!

It’s been a while since the last post; I have to say it’s been pretty busy. A trip to Mexico, visits across the US, and most recently I had a hernia. I’m not even out of my 30′s, so I was a little surprised when it happened. I’m not sure if the universe was mocking [...]

Hair of the dog…or in my case, the arm

With the exception of my head, I’m a hairy guy. My arms, my legs, and especially my chest. Many years ago I’ve shaved my chest. It hurt. It itched. For a long while. I learned my lesson. Or so I thought. While shaving my head last week, I was admiring how tight it looked – [...]
