Here’s Why You Should Consider Using Shave Soap

If you’re a fan of the local barbershop, you know that shearing off facial hair should involve more than a quick pass with your drugstore razor. It deserves the removal ritual that’s often left to the pros but is totally possible to do at home. One thing that sets a barber’s shave apart from the typical at-home regimen is shave soap. Yes, it’s more labor intensive and requires more accouterments than a tube of shaving cream but it’s worth it.

Here, Imperial Barber co-founder and professional barber Pedro Zermeno helpfully provided easy-to-follow step-by-steps for shaving with shave soap:

Grooming Guru: Advice from Celebrity Stylist Vaughn Acord

grooming guru advice from celebrity stylist vaughn acord v76 by 2

Freddie Mercury, David Bowie and his dad were the unlikely impetus behind Vaughn Acord seeking out a profession in men’s grooming. Though he was familiar with the basics thanks to his barber father it wasn’t until he “noticed that album covers and the fashion and grooming on them were taking over” that he realized there was more to it than a simple cut and a shave. Particularly, Acord was drawn to the long hair and risk-taking looks of glam rockers like Bowie, The New York Dolls and Mercury. So at 16, he already knew he wanted to “get into the beauty, the art and fashion of it.” A drummer since around the age of 5, he decided to attend trade school to learn about grooming, and ended up working at a salon in Ohio during the week and traveling to NYC on weekends to play music. After being spotted by a model scout at a gig, he ended up in front of the camera, starring in ad campaigns and learning from the best groomers in the world while on set. Finally after a few years, Acord went back to his first love of grooming, snagging a job at Bumble and bumble before moving onto editorial shoots that had him working with photographers like Annie Leibowitz, Herb Ritts, and Mark Seliger. Oh and after years of work in the field, he used his knowledge to formulate a line of skin- and hair care called V76 by Vaughn. Here the man offers his tips on looking your best, building a grooming arsenal and the mistake you might be making everyday.
