Do You Like Neat Stuff?

April 1, 2015 By //  by The Beardsgaards

Greetings Beardsgaardians!

Sunday was a weird day around Beardsgaard Manor. Shop Kid was off at grandma’s, and it was Blademaiden’s 32nd birthday. It started off swimmingly with a pulled neck muscle which required a nice stay on the couch the whole day.

But as she has been working herself into a coma lately, it might have been just the ticket. During her day of staying still (with cake), it was decided that she should take the damn day off for once and not work.

It didn’t exactly work. While she didn’t do any of the normal required work-type work, she did let her artsy side out by flippering about with Photoshop for lo many hours.

So she made some barber avatars. Which we were thinking about getting printed up as stickers. Because just like the 6-year-old Shop Kid, we also like stickers. You do too, apparently, since we’re seeing our logo stickers all over everything around town.

Speaking of Shop Kid (and Shopkeep and Shop Dog), they could not be left out. They may be the most colorful of the bunch.

Another things lots of folks ask about is the script above our door. Is that Elvish? Damn straight it is. Tengwar Sindarin, in fact.

Speak Friend and Enter Elvish

This seems like something you nerds might like in some printed form. So what do you think, friends? Shall we get to printing, and if you want some Elvish, in what form? Bumper stickers? Window clings? Shirts?


You tell us, and we’ll make it up!

About The Beardsgaards

The Beardsgaards are a pair of mom-and-pop barber nerds with a shared obsession with perfection. We built this old school barbershop to feel like home to everyone who enters beneath the Elvish script above our door. If we and the Gaardian army can give you a better handle on your grooming routine, all the better.
