So It has taken a bit of time to compile all the photos from this past ASR that we just finished a few weeks back but I think it was worth the wait. As many of you already know we had a barbershop set up on the floor of the show to do haircuts and straight razor shaves. Now for those of you out there that have not yet had a straight razor shave it is quite an experience. They wrap a steaming hot towel around your face to get the wiskers to stand at attention so its a smooth shave and let me tell you its smooth. Its a little weird at first but then when you come to the realization that these guys are professionals and they do this 40 times a day you kind of just sit back and relax.

We had our good friends Brent Ferris and AJ Henley come down and perform their skilled craft on the attendees of the show and with a never ending supply of people lined up to get cut it was quite a busy day for the two of them but they did it with a smile on their face the entire time.

So for those of you who didn’t get to stop by the booth this year hopefully we will have it going on next August as well and you can get your shave on then.

Brent even shaved heads

This stuff is legit

Wes Van Der Vort stepped in for a cut

BMB had me schedule him for 9:30am on day 2 of the show but since nobody was there at 9am I decided to get a little trim via the blade

Jesse Faen from Insight got the hot towel shave

I felt bad when I would take these shots of the guys getting the shaves because your natural reaction when someone puts a camera in your face is to smile except when your getting a straight razor shave because if you move while their shaving your throat there is a chance you could get cut

The hot towel was awesome

Sean Smith from SIMA

The Bear from what I believe was from the H-Street booth was roaming around the halls so I pulled him in for a quick cut

I dont think he thought we were serious but then the cape came out and he looked a bit concerned

Doog from Surf Expo is a busy guy and knows everybody at the trade shows so it was difficult for him to wait in the lounge for his shave while everybody he knew kept walking on by

Josh Hunter from Transworld was doing a little segment on the most amazing flare ever seen at a tradeshow.

The Von Zipper family was all over the place while their family member took a little off the top

I pulled this one off AJ’s facebook page and didn’t realize until I was resizing the photos that it has Brents name across his chest. Wingnut was the first in line to get a shave on Wed. I have been pumping him up on this for about 2 1/2 months now and I think he was pretty stoked on the outcome.

I think this is my favorite picture out of the whole lot. It looks like Brent just made a mistake on the back of this guys head with the look on his face.

The crowds never stopped. AJ and Brent are ASR celebrities
