Welcome Home, Nerds
The folks on YouTube have been asking for more haircut videos, and that gets tough when you’re open 6 days a week. There’s Sunday, but that’s the day everything ELSE gets scheduled into. So when Blademaiden realized she had one of her favorite heads in the chair, we did a livestream!
It was a bit impromptu, forgive the sound quality. We’ll get better at this “live” thing.

Dutch was yearning for the mountains again, so he moved back out to the west coast to do those things he do. But before he went, he wanted to make a big change. A head shave big change. And he didn’t want to do it alone. So Beardsmith took the plunge with him.

While both of the Beardsgaards trained under some flat top masters, Beardsmith doesn’t have to get up on his toes to get all the right angles. Watch him square things up.

There’s only so much a barber can do when a client wants it short of the side, AND short on top. That’s usually the most basic of basic dudes haircut. Unless, that is, you want to get scummy.
This is the Scumpadour, or as it’s inventor, Schorem calls it, “what happens when you put a Pompadour, a Flattop and a Quiff in a room and let them get busy. And it’s a thing we really like cutting.

Hey, remember a while back when we mentioned that Blademaiden was going to be out of the shop for training? Yep, so that totally happened, and it was fucking epic.
And as far as the population of Chicago now knows (in certain pockets), this group of trainees were not a bunch of hopeful Reuzel Pomade educators, they were a band that happened to be called the #Scumbassadors.
They also sorta stole a limo. Sorta. You’re really going to need to keep reading, because there’s a sizable photo gallery…

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.

As our barbers will tell you, we go HARD with training. This past weekend we traveled all the way down to Chicago on Sunday for a shave demo at Joe’s Barber Shop, and Monday the crew spent 8 hours training with Professional Salon Concepts in Joliet, learning more about Davines and Naturaltech.

Somehow we have never gotten around to producing a full-on haircut and/or beard demo on film. But when the scumbags of Schorem and Reuzel put out a call for potential Scumbassador educators, we knew the time had come.
Let us present: an Executive Contour haircut and huge fucking beard. There may also be dragons. {Update: totally made it. Say hello to one of the first Reuzel Scumbassadors}

A couple of months ago, we got an email from a nice lady named Kerri. Kerri is one of the talented folks behind Industrie Online, an online magazine with a prolific knack for pumping out incredibly detailed and helpful content for hair and beauty pros. And she said they wanted to do a little story on us.
So as you might imagine, we were a bit blown away when we saw all they put together out of our talkings. We mean, we know we barbers are hard to shut up, but we’re aw shucks-ing all over the place for all the work they put into these pieces.
If you’re in the industry of hair, especially if you’re entrepreneurially-minded, make sure you follow Industrie.

Brian is a client, dear friend and incredible artist. He is the first of our in shop featured artists, and made a T-shirt and sticker design for us in homage to an industry godfather, Bertus of Schorem barbershop.
So we send Bertus a shirt with his face on it, he got a photo taken of him wearing it by their shop photographer Jelle, and now we surprise Brian with it. To quote him, “Headsploady.”
