PMB’s Festival Checklist

The clocks go forward in just over a week and we’re looking forward to the days getting longer, more of that lovely sun we saw at the weekend, and the start of FESTIVAL SEASON!

Whether you’re hitting up Glastonbury, Bestival or Lovebox this summer, it’s important for a Pall Mall Gentleman to always look his best. Even after three days in a tent. The team at Pall Mall Barbers are a bunch of seasoned festival-goers and have a few top tips for looking fetching in a field, so make sure these secret weapons make it into your wash bag this summer.

Talc
Hair getting a bit lank and greasy? Shower queues a mile long? Rub a small amount of talc in a circular motion through the hair. It’ll pick up grease and any lingering oil-based product in the hair. Simples.

Non-Setting Products
Feel fresher and use a lighter product in your hair during your festival stint, preferably one that doesn’t leave a residue. An ideal product for festival use is Pall Mall Barbers Matt Clay. Formulated by the boffs at PMB towers, you can easily shake out a light product like this and style it all over again in the morning.

Wet wipes and moisturiser
Don’t be the one who gets sunstroke and ruins it for everyone, lads. A quick once over with non-scented wet wipes will keep you fresh as a daisy all day, but it’s also essential to moisturise if you’re exposed to the elements all day. And only more so if you’re indulging in a beer or three. We swear by Jack Black Double Duty Moisturiser. With SPF 20 protection built in, your skin be moisturised and protected in one.

Smell good and get the girls
• Aftershave fades the soonest
• Eau de Toilette fades after a few hours
• Eau de Parfum lasts the longest.

We highly recommend Jack Black Eau de Parfum. It’s a fresh and clean scent that lasts long but is never overbearing. Most of the female Pall Mall Barbers find the smell attractive, so needless to say the male side of PMB are now all applying it liberally!

Have a great week,

The PMB Team

Milk and Sugar With Your Coffee, Sir?

We’ll be making our pop-up debut next month when we set up a full-sized barber shop at Milk and Sugar, a showcase of all things urban and stylish, at Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane.

Running from 3rd – 6th April, the event will feature exhibitions and stands from all sorts of in-the-know London lifestyle brands, from pop up gourmet restaurants to craft beer breweries, men’s fashion designers to inventors of all manner of weird and wonderful apps and gadgets. And, of course, the best cuts and shaves in London.
As part of the London Coffee Festival also taking place at the Brick Lane venue, Milk and Sugar is an elite collection of brands deemed inspirational by its curators, and we’re honoured to be part of an event that not only celebrates ingenuity and design but also a charitable event that donates half of each ticket price to clean-water charities in coffee-producing countries.

We’d love to see you there and it’s sure to be a great event with something for everyone to enjoy. So if you do fancy coming along, you can book your tickets for the London Coffee Festival through the Milk and Sugar website (£11.50 in advance). You can also book in advance with us for a haircut, beard trim or luxury wet shave at our pop-up by selecting ‘Pall Mall Barbers Milk and Sugar Event’ when you book with us online.

And if the Milk and Sugar sensory overload all gets too much we’ll be handing out complimentary Harry Brompton’s Ice Tea all weekend.

Enjoy!

Time for a boys’ day out? We might have just the ticket…

Pall Mall Barbers invite you to enjoy reduced rate tickets to see London Wasps play Gloucester at Twickenham on Sunday April 19th. Book online at www.wasps.co.uk and enter the code pallmall2014 when booking tickets priced at £25 or over, and you’ll get a hearty 20% off. Tickets start at just a tenner, too!

The big match - known as “The Stinger” - takes place next month as a friendly in aid of Sport Relief. With acts like Little Mix billed to perform at the pre-match show, it’s sure to be a great way to spend the afternoon of Easter Sunday, whether you take the family along or head out with the lads after lunch.

And as part of a new collaboration with Wasps, we’re also going to be popping up at their home games over the coming months, offering our sharpest cuts and wet shaves to the public at their home ground, Adams Park. The last home match of the season - against Newcastle Falcons on May 3rd - is simply not to be missed!

To celebrate our new collaboration with one of Europe's finest rugby teams we’re offering a pair of tickets plus two luxury wet shaves to one lucky winner who can convince us in just five words why they should win this bundle for them and a mate.
