I in no way consider myself to be the expert of experts or final word in traditional barbering (or any other field for that matter). However, as a second-generation barber with over 15 years industry experience, I feel it is my duty to share my experience and philosophy to an industry that seems to be more and more crowded with nonsense and falsehoods every day. I love my industry and I am happy to see it undergoing a renaissance, but I also see that much of the true tradition has been lost and young barbers seem to be filling in the gaps with pure fantasy. I am sure that many of you may disagree with my opinions, and I welcome those disagreements. Constructive debate will be one of the best ways to move the industry forward.
I also have many years experience with men's grooming products from all over the world, and I will use this forum to inform you about (and hopefully sell to you) all of the unique and interesting products we carry, from shaving creams, brushes, and razors, to hairbrushes, manicure kits, and fine fragrance.
I am looking forward to adding what I think is a unique take on the industry to the global discussion. I hope you enjoy.
Thank you,
Kirk Merchant
