We’re talking about cleanliness, the way they were greeted, the beverage [...]

Stored in: Business Insights, Gentlemen Musts, Store Info

One of the most common questions we get in our Grooming Lounge stores relates to our Signature Hot Lather Shave and why we do it like we do it.  Many are curious to learn that it’s not the “spaghetti western” version of a shave — you know the one in which the wise, mustached barber [...]
