Bricktown Grooming

Bricktown Grooming is LIVE at the Nyack Street Fair in Nyack, New York! Come by and see VINTAGE restored shave brushes and razors. Plus you can pick up some Bricktown Grooming shave soap, aftershave, and eau de parfum!

I wanted something I haven’t used in a while. Usually when that happens I wonder why I don’t use it more. The Bazaar hit that spot for me. My scent from the first meet up Bricktown attended in 2023, the myrrh and rose forward splash was a hit. It’s my own memory from my time in the desert where I attended a few bazaars. Mixes of incense, musk, and dust (I left that scent note out) were strong. Not pungent or off putting, but more ethereal.

I wanted a great yet neutral soap for tonight. Sir Hare always seems to fit with any shave. A classic and middle of the road barbershop, it’s inexpensive and I got mine on Amazon. Such a great lather.

I used a beautiful lignum vitae brush from Cody. He tanned the wood in the sun (it turns greenish!) and put a rosewood ferrule on top. Mix that with some pearl and brass inserts and you have a winner. The black boar knot makes it even better too!

I wanted to use a straight tonight too so I got my 1870’s Joseph Rodgers out, stropped her up, and had a smoooooth shave.

Happy shaving!

Bricktown shave day! It’s been getting warmer here so a cool and classic shave was required. And Medicine Crow is just that. Teak, bergamot, and lily of the valley star in this nod to the 40’s and 50’s era and the Greatest Generation. The one who personifies that is Joe Medicine Crow who was the last Plains Indian War Chief. He passed his trials while fighting the N***s in WWII. Doesn’t get much cooler than that.

I met David from B&D at this year’s Phoenix meet up. He’s a great guy and has become a good friend. Oh, did you know he makes ridonculous porcelain shave bowls? These things are high class. Definitely something that can be an heirloom.

The meet up soap from RE is so good. Bay rum with some smooth leather. Can’t get much more classic than that. The typical DJ soap performance is evident right away too!

My razor was the first modern straight I bought. A beautiful 8/8 Dovo from their Arena series. I love the black blade and lion design. And I especially love the stabilized birch scales.

Gardner made an awesome mix for this Arjuna brush. Arjuna is a demigod and hero in Indian mythology. And while he is from India and Joe Medicine Crow is from America, they are 2 bad ass heroes!

Happy shaving!

Bricktown Bourbon Day!! It’s getting warmer but it’s always a good day for a fine bourbon scent. And Valley Forge brings just that. Bourbon soaked sandalwood is what you’re gonna smell, and want more of. Named after ol’ George Washington’s estate, which had a distillery, of course.

Paul Trotter helped me name Valley Forge so it’s only fitting that one of his brushes made an appearance. And not just any brush, my FIRSTTrotter! British racing green and pearl, in an almost quintessential Trotter pour, is topped with one of his synthetic knots. Such a great brush!

I brought in Shannon’s Cedar Vanilla soap. And the perfect performance is what’s come to be expected from any Elysian brand! Maybe we can start a petition to bring this scent back! Who’s comin with me!

And finishing it off is Lattafa’s Asad Bourbon. Think bourbon and oud mixed to perfection!

Happy shaving!

Bricktown, baby! Time for where a fine shave with one of my earliest fragrances, Lafayette. Named for a personal fried of George Washington (and my 12x great uncle), Lafayette was a young French officer who was instrumental in the Revolution. It’s a barbershop with a soft, French, powdery twist. A true fan favorite, so totally worth checking out! And no cologne needed with the usual Bricktown Grooming strength!

I went with Sir Hare today. The best bang for your buck, and available on amazon. It’s a classic barbershop scent and a great lather. I threw in some menthol drops since it’s been hot as hell lately.

My hardware is my first Drew Dick, a 9/8” French point (see the theme) with purple heartwood scales. Truly a thing of beauty. And a NOS burma shave brush. Great boar knot in this guy!

And closing my shave out, as usual, is The Shave Supply Beaumont Shaving Company beard oil. The best skin food beard oil out there. And it’s unscented so it goes with everything.

Happy shaving!

Bricktown fun shave! I finally got a bottle of Polo Red, which is one of my favorite scents of all time. So I pulled out an aftershave using a dupe oil and had a hell of a shave. If anyone is looking for an aftershave of a popular cologne scent, send me a message. I may just have the oil to match!

An OG Black Beauty 109 with the original gold plating for a show stopping BBS. And a candy apple red brush from Alpha Shaving is one of the coolest brushes in my den. Sleek lines in a nod to the Rubberset 4 make this a personal favorite. The badger knot in this has broken in so well and makes a perfect lather.

The Grapefruit soap from Joe was just right to pair as well. The tart citrus of grapefruit is the main player but he added a deep red and sweet plum to his scent profile. I feel that was an amazing idea that totally worked! Well done!

Happy shaving everyone!

Happy belated St. Patrick’s Day from Bricktown Grooming! Life decided to life so my fine Irish shave had to wait a couple days. And here we are! Irish Brigade was all over the place this year, so long after the release, that it warmed my heart. I’m so happy to see people still love my GIT dupe and nod to the Fighting 69th Brigade from the Civil War.

I may have mailed Joe Dean the oils but he worked his magic (completely expected, btw) and made a damn fine soap for this limited release. Seriously, you can never go wrong with a Subtle Art soap in your shave.

With the love of all things green comes a brush from Cody. The dark paduak wood, brass inserts, vibrant green middle and gorgeous pearl ferrule makes this one of my favorite brushes. Add a soft black badger knot to the equation and there’s no way to go wrong.

Last, but certainly not least, comes a beautiful Spanish point from Drew. A 9/8” blade with masur birch scales and white inserts makes this a work of art. I only wish I could take a pic that did the scales justice. They’re freakin beautiful!

I didn’t picture the Barrett’s edp of Green Hills. Such a perfect scent!!!

Happy shaving and Happy St. Patrick’s Day (belated)!

Having a good old time with some dupe oils that came in. I made a couple bottles for Lina and then made myself a D&G Light Blue aftershave (Wild Blue Yonder), Polo Red (Big Red One), and a B&BW Mahogany and Teakwood (The Wardroom…still not sold on this name). They’re dupes and it’s always fun having a nice splash added to the rotation.

Gardner’s Siren’s Envy brush did well with the challenging Caswell Massey cream. I still don’t have the technique down to get a quality lather. But with some standalone splashes I’ll keep messing with it. Rós is a beautifully scented cream with pine notes. I definitely recommend picking some up!

And then the ‘69 Black Beauty 109 in gold. I love this razor. I know the trade happened long ago but a huge thanks to for sending me this razor. I promise to continue to show it some love!

Shave like a boss. Smell even better.
