The Art of Shaving

The Art of Shaving

the art of shaving

What the manicure is to women, the straight razor shave by the barber is to men.  In a fast paced world, speed and convenience usually conquers over tradition.  It's not that the electric razor doesn't do the job well, in fact most modern day items are invented for the purpose of better and faster.  However, it will never replace the touch of the barber and the conversation that is had during barber shop banter.

Every shave at The Art of Shaving consists of four steps.  The 4 Elements of The Perfect Shave combine The Art of Shaving's high quality products, handcrafted accessories and expert shaving technique to provide optimal  shaving results while helping against ingrown hairs, razor burn, and nicks & cuts.

Details: Bobby Pin Jewelry

In a new series, men's accessories such as bracelets and bags will show how small details can accentuate an outfit.  

     On a recent trip to New York I discovered an amazing duo of ladies (Bobby Pin Jewelry) creating limited and custom designed jewelry for both men and women.  Bracelets and cufflinks are offered to men as well as custom ordered items.  The men's line is urban and military inspired with heavy emphasis on leather and vintage bullets.  The bracelets below use end caps and casings from real vintage .22 and .30 caliber bullets.  Some men have reservations about wearing jewelry other than a watch but Bobby Pin Jewelry designs understated and rugged items accessible to all men.

"Why buy jewelry that is made in bulk when you can buy a custom piece or design something yourself," Bobby Pin Jewelry.
