Tools of the Week

One clipper, one trimmer, one shaver — on the board, out of the box, ready to pick up. Come in, switch them on, feel the weight and the balance before you spend a dollar. New picks every Monday.

Questions barbers ask

Can I try these tools before I buy?

Yes. All three sit on open boards in the store. Take them down, switch them on, feel the weight and the balance. No box to open, no sales pitch.

How often do the picks change?

Every Monday. We pick one clipper, one trimmer and one shaver that are physically on the shelf that week, so what you read here is what is on the board.

Are these the tools you recommend for everyone?

No. They're the three we've put out to be handled this week. The right tool depends on how you cut — come in and try all three boards.
