The Finer Points • The Safety Razor {Video}

August 3, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

We love the history of barbering as much as we love barbering itself. Take a little trip through the safety razor history books and learn a bit about the basics behind owning and operating one of these beautiful bad boys.

If I Can, You Can / There Will Be Blood {Video}

May 13, 2015 By //  by The Beardsgaards

Are you hopeless when it comes to basic grooming routines? Ever wish you had your barber on hand in your bathroom to show you the ropes? Well take heart. You can, vicariously, through Colin the Shopkeep in a video series we like to call “If I Can, You Can.” Because seriously.

There Will Be Blood Title Small

Unless you want to go full hermit, shaving at least part of your face is a thing that happens from time to time in a man’s life. Sure, you could use the obscenely expensive cartridge razors you always have, but going old school with a safety razor will give you a better shave for a lot less money in the long run.

The first time is not for the faint of heart, though. In this episode of “If I Can, You Can,” Beardsmith makes an appearance in Shopkeep Colin’s bathroom to make sure he doesn’t kill himself as he attempts his first go ’round with the safety razor.

Colin the Shopkeep • Shave Virgin {Video}

October 28, 2014 By //  by The Beardsgaards 2 Comments

It’s funny, we have a beautiful old school barbershop here with a stupid amount of traditional wet shave accoutrements that get used every single day, and no one who works here has ever had a full straight shave.

Morgan is a child, Natalie is female, Tyler has had a beard as long as he has known her and it’s not going anywhere, and Colin has the face of an infant and has thus never sought out a shave.

We decided to do something about one of those faces.

Colin the Shave Virgin

In today’s video post, we will take you behind the scenes of a shave with a bit more banter than usual when sharp things touch skin to show you what to expect during a shave.

4 Steps to a Perfect Shave

March 25, 2014 By //  by The Beardsgaards 2 Comments

How to Shave

Shaving your face at home is, for many men, both a daily ritual and a big pain in the ass. Or face, as the case may be. After you execute your 4 prep steps with a quick buzz, softening, buffing and washing (no really, click that link and read that, it’s sort of important), you’re ready to shave.

Although we find a safety or DE razor best for home shaving (or even a straight razor, if you can handle one), for this post we are going to be talking about shaving using Natalie’s dad’s trusty Mach3 or something similar. The instructions here apply to nearly every shaving method though.

Read on for the best shave you’re likely to get outside of a barber shop.

Blademaiden Shaving

For most men (or whoever), shaving is a chore.

Of course, you can always come into the shop and have us do it for you (we barbers love shaving!), but if you have to shave your own face, proper skin preparation with save you from everything from razor burn to irritation, bleeding, sensitivity and ingrown hairs.

These are the steps we use in the shop to get your skin ready for the perfect shave, adapted for your home routine.
