As everyone has seen over the last few weeks I have been mentioning that I was going for a shape at Murdock London (in Covent Garden). My barber for the night was Ryan (click link for bio) and the experience went well – started off with a free whiskey which is always a […]

I went back to Penhaligons yesterday and purchased a very awesome scent Blenheim Bouguet. It is a very citrus flavoured scent and I it does stay around awhile – starts of strong but blends very nicely. Whilst there the sales team where kind enough (after noticing my beard) to offer me […]

I have just booked with Murdocks for a beard shape next week Friday. Currently my beard is nice and bushy but I need some shape I think. Below is a pre shaping picture and I will upload a after shot next week. Have a great beard day all.

I have created my own Beard Oil. It has some Orange, Lemongrass and Black Pepper in it with the base made with Jojabo oil and Almond oil. It is a lovely citrus smelling blend and I’m very happy with the smell and how it feels in my beard. I have […]

Over the last few months I have started to look at getting some really nice scents and stop using my Hugo Boss (which is still a nice smell). I have gone through a couple of different brands (will talk about them latter in another post) but then I came across […]

Last year I backed a kickstarter project for a beard comb made by Daft – as it was a kickstarter campaign I was able to get the comb personalised (image will be below) with my monogram – The Wanderer. This is my goto comb and I love it. It comes in a […]

I’m currently using Percy Nobleman’s Beard Oil as part of my morning routine. Dry my beard with a towel, add one squirt of beard oil into my hand and then apply to my beard starting at the bottom working my way up. It does not have an unpleasant smell and seems […]
