Shower Routines: Blademaiden

April 1, 2020 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

Some folks go with the same shower routine every day, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Some of us, however, have grooming needs that are a bit more advanced.

Blademaiden, for example, is growing her hair out, has psoriasis on her skin and scalp, and her skin in general reacts poorly to, like, so many things. Because of all of those things, not every shower she takes is the same. In this video, we take you to our shower and show you around.


Treatment Day

We have seen time and time again, Davines Energizing pumps out the hair growth, but using it too frequently can dull its effects as your scalp becomes accustomed to it. For that reason, Blademaiden uses the Shampoo and Superactive leave-in treatment once a week. So long as she’s going with the tingly products, she adds in Morning Shift Soap and Facial Mist for some face moisture at the end of the shower.

  • Hudson Made Morning Shift Soap
  • Davines Naturaltech Energizing Shampoo
  • Davines Essentials Momo Conditioner
  • Fulton & Roark Face Wash
  • Davines Naturaltech Energizing Superactive
  • Hudson Made Morning Shift Facial Mist

Light Day

After all that serious washing on the previous shower, she uses the Cleansing Nectar as both a shampoo and a body wash. The Moisturizing Balm can be used as a conditioner for hair, face and body, so a quick rub over all your parts and rinse is enough to leave you moisturized all over. For psoriasis skin, however, Blademaiden brings out the big guns with the Replenishing Butter.

  • Davines Authentic Cleansing Nectar
  • Davines Authentic Moisturizing Balm
  • Fulton & Roark Face Wash
  • Davines Authentic Replenishing Butter

Maintenance Day

For day to day washing, Melu Shampoo and Conditioner are for long hair, specifically breakage protection (works great for beards, too). For some skin soothing, she switches up the Hudson Made to the skin soothing Apothecary Rose Body Wash and Body Milk, with, like other showers, the fabulous Fulton & Roark Face Wash (marketed to man faces, but does a bang up job on makeup removing too.)

  • Davines Essentials Melu Shampoo
  • Davines Essentials Melu Conditioner
  • Fulton & Roark Face Wash
  • Hudson Made Apothecary Rose Body Wash
  • Hudson Made Apothecary Rose Body Milk

Scrub Day

A quick wash and condition, and then the point of this shower. Step out of the water, give yourself a scrubbin, but even after the sugar melts on your skin, the extra moisturizing ingredients will leave you feeling in your best skin head to toe (because it’s also great on the face).

  • Davines Authentic Cleansing Nectar
  • Davines Essentials Momo Conditioner
  • River Peak Apothecary Moonsands Sugar Scrub

As a full service barbershop, we offer an array of grooming products to take your barbershop look home with you. We don’t stop there though – we have your entire grooming routine covered, and shoppable online.

We were deeply saddened by the news of Christopher We were deeply saddened by the news of Christopher Tolkien passing a year ago, and still are to this day. Our love of his father and Lord of the Rings is ever present here at Beardsgaard. So tonight we, and hopefully the rest of you, will take a moment to remember one of the greatest authors of all time, his son, and the impact the Tolkien family has had on our lives. 
“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”
-J.R.R. Tolkien

We know it’s a bit of a pain but it’s really to appease Phydeoux the shop dragon. He has a hunger for children and waivers, and we’d rather feed him waivers.

Well hello to those with wild beards who heard whi Well hello to those with wild beards who heard whispers of moving out of Tier 3 Mitigation! Please pause, we're not there yet. 

This does not apply to the entire state of Illinois, only certain regions. As of now, we are still in Tier 3. We will announce when we have moved to Tier 2 on all of our social media channels as well as our email list, so sit tight until then!

Because knowledge is power, you also can go to http://dph.illinois.gov/regionmetrics?regionID=8 at any time and look at Region 8, which contains Kane County. As of this posting, we are not meeting the metric on hospital bed availability. 

We promise, we want to get everything under your mask looking and feeling great, but we cannot do that until it's safe. Thank you for understanding, and please keep an eye out here, on Instagram or sign up for our email list at the bottom of www.beardsgaardbarbers.com to get updates.
