The helmets are coming...

* * *
Our first run of custom Biltwell/Non-DOT helmets are getting photographed as I type, and will be up for sale before the Xmas holiday. All helmets start off as a brand new/non-DOT helmet from the guys at Biltwell (which the shop is now a dealer for), then our in-house painter ChicagoChris takes each one and does his magic. Each helmet is painted by hand, and will never be duplicated  so that u can assure that the helmet you pickup is truly yours. Stay tuned for more announcements on these killer custom lids, and watch the shop's Etsy store at the link above for them to start being posted up for sale soon...

Support Local Barbershops..


* * * 

The word “Barber” used to stand for something. Professional/Traditional/Licensed barbering is not available for $5 at the Un-licensed shop on the corner, or even $100 @ the new/hip place that just opened up in the city. For generations real licensed barbers have bought houses, raised children, purchased new cars, and made a honest living making their customers look their best at reasonable prices. The “chop shop” chains like SportsClips, Floyds, Hair Curttery, and the best of all “Male Salons” try to play the role of a traditional barber, while at the same time take away customers and $$ from the real deal shops that have been around for generations. Share this with your buddies who support these soul-less “Chop Shops”, and give them a slap upside the head next time ya see them. Support local barbershops..
