Welcome Home, Nerds
We have some tip top news! A series of events has unfolded that has put us in the position to be a direct importer of all of the Captain Fawcett products we carry, now including fragrance.
That means we are able to skip a bunch of middleman costs, and the price of all the Captain Fawcett fragrances are now…lower? Yes indeed, lower! Huzzah!

How often should I wash my beard?
We’re so, so sorry. We needed a header image, and Shopkeep Joey was around. Making that face.
This is one of the most common questions we get on beard care, and as with most of the answers to other beard-related questions, the answer is a rousing, “it depends.”
Like the hair on your head, your skin and the oils it produces are designed by your body to be the main method of both cleansing and conditioning your follicles. Beard hair tend to be heftier than the hair on your head, and as such it usually needs more moisture and less washing than head hair. But how often heavily depends on your specific situation.

Listen, you have to wash your hair. And as an adult male, if you have to do something anyway, you might as well do it well.
Today your barbers spill their secrets on a very simple life task that most of us have been doing wrong, or at least ineffectively, our whole lives.
In our Winter is Coming / Gird Your Head post we talked about the best hair getting a little help from its friend sebum, otherwise known as your skin’s natural oils.
Wildlings need a little work
The majority of winter hair woes are caused by the cold and dry air sucking moisture out of your hair. Your scalp produces oils to protect your hair, not to annoy you. It’s trying to help, so stop killing it every day with shampoo. Under normal circumstances, you should be washing your hair two or three times a week (those with thicker/longer hair don’t need to shampoo as often).

When we ask dudes in our chairs what they are using for hair product, we often get a blank stare. Or we get a response of “paste” or “gel,” which, upon further questioning, we determine to be a product that is neither one of those things.

Today we are going to give you a brief overview of all the basic varieties of hair product, what they do, who should be using them, and how to get the best out of them.

We have more than a few clients who come in for a haircut not when they need a haircut, but when their eyebrows are getting out of hand. While we love seeing you gents more often, we are primarily in the business of making your life easier.
With that in mind, we’re going to teach you how to groom your eyebrows at home. You need just a few tools and a few minutes, and you’ll look more approachable and less angry. If that’s your thing. If not, keep that gloriously intimidating scowl on, friend.
Not every set of eyebrows needs this, and if yours don’t grow wild, leave them alone and go about your day, you lucky bastard. But if the natural state of your eyebrows is in the general Gandalf range, or even if you just have a few wonky tonk hairs, here’s how clean them up without looking overly manscaped, just like we do in the shop.
