SOTD 17-23 April 2016

Detroit Grooming Company has opened a barbershop near me, and I’m going to check it out today.  We are moving soon, so I have to control my spending, or I would have made an appointment for a straight razor shave there.  I might get a haircut.

The one in Ferndale? That's like a mile away from me. I drive past it every day on my way to work. I was thinking about checking it out as well, as I am also in need of a haircut. Let me know how it works out!

Right, the one in Ferndale. I stopped in but they were booked. It looks clean and I like the vintage wooden chairs they have for waiting. I might go back next week to get a trim.

Let me know if you go and how it went.

Great picture.   Nice brush  

Thank you Doug.  After all you should know.  In full disclosure for the rest of the forum, I have been testing the WDC-8 brush handle and installed the Druida knot for testing.  Doug, semperfi 45 made the brush handle along with another WDC-6 handle and sent both for me to evaluate.  This one hit the size and weight spot on for me.

Thanks clint64 I'm very happy you like the WDC-8. They are available on Etsy at WDCShave.

vmyrabo, how is the Vanderpool soap? It has been on my radar for a short while, but it’s difficult to find any reviews of it…
