The Barbershop Story
By Brian (AKA Mr. Shannon): I still pass by it every morning on my way to work - the old barbershop near Pearl and Brookpark where my dad and I would occasionally spend a Saturday morning getting de-hippified. A barbershop was an interesting place for a little boy. I remember the long line of barber chairs, each one with a strop attached, and the glass counter that held all sorts of manly potions for customers to buy. I also remember the smells - citrusy, spicy, and exotic. The old barbershop is long gone - replaced by a bar and a mattress store; but whenever I want to visit it again in my mind, I can use Shannon's Barbershop to take me back.
Customer Praise
"I hail from the Deep South so my olfactory memories of the barbershop experience tend to go down that Clubman Pinaud/hair clipper oil/worn vinyl chair/Barbicide with a heavy dusting of talc thrown on top... Shannon's Soaps' Barbershop offering is more refined and better blended. It is very clean & well rounded with superb lathering qualities. I mean this is as rich as you want it to be with little effort. I've used both a synthetic & natural hair brush & the results are the same. This is not a fizzy, bubble maker. This a yogurt bomb and the post shave feel & scent is as good as any artisan soap touting their next great base or formula out there right now."
