Us Grooming Guys are always asking oursleves the tough questions to try and make our businesses the best it can be. Other times, we’re asking questions to try to raise our superficial I.Q. And most of the time, we’re asking one another questions that have no relevance to anything whatsoever. Here’s a sampling — and we’re certainly grateful to anyone with a good answer. We’ll provide our stabs at answers in a few days.
1. Should wearing a mock-turtleneck shirt be a felony or misdemeanor?
2. Why do the same people always drop their cigarette butts outside our DC store, even though we’ve requested they cease?
3. What are the two guys who pace back and forth outside our Atlanta store on their Bluetooth headsets always talking about? And why do they always walk together?
4. Why do products that say fragrance-free always have smells to them? We actually know this answer, but are wondering if you do.
5. How did we possibly run out of our “The Best Shampoo” already? More is being made and should be in by month’s end, but that’s a blatant sales pitch and not an answer to question.
6. Why would a shaver be insistent on having a shaving cream with a puffy lather — when most of that lather doesn’t even come near the skin?
7. Is it the right thing to tell a co-worker that he/she has food in their teeth, B.O., their fly is down, etc?
8. What does the word or phrase ”pipi coco” mean? One of our college professors said this to a colleague years ago and we still have no clue what language it’s from or what it means. Doesn’t stop us from saying it a lot though.
9. Why do people purchase, in the same order, three separate moisturizers – one for oily, one for dry and one for combo skin? Sure it’s good for business, but we want to provide solid results.
10. Who can make the sunrise? Sprinkle it in dew?
For number 10, as Sammy Davis Jr. knows, the Candyman can!
6. Why would a shaver be insistent on having a shaving cream with a puffy lather — when most of that lather doesn’t even come near the skin?
Because that’s how a lot of creams end up naturally when you use a shave brush. They aren’t all like that. Take Mitchell’s wool fat. For me, it is pretty low foaming. I think a really thick lather can also mean you used to much cream in the first place.
I have one for you guys (although the feedback from you two is very lacking in the comments section of the blog making me wonder if you even read the comments)
Why have barbers always insisted on using a very thick lather if it isn’t the best way to do it?
Thanks for your comments and we do respond to all comments — just that I think there was a tech hiccup in there that didn’t let them populate to posts. Ooops.
In terms of why Barbers have always insisted on intense lather, to be honest, we think it’s all part of the “spaghetti western” aura of such a shave. Give em’ a bunch of lather, a straight edge, etc. and they’ll be happy. Not that some aren’t, we just don’t think the results are what they need to be.
