{01.14.09} Skin Care

 

With an international affairs degree in hand from Florida State, Severin Dickson decided he wasn't the 9-5 type of guy. "So I moved to New York on a whim," he says. "And hoped I'd never work in an office again." He wound up in the grooming biz and soon worked his way to master barber status—ditching cubicle life for a small chop shop on the Lower East Side, currently getting a lot of buzz (pun intended). The 50's-style place, where a haircut comes with a shot of bourbon, has since launched a line of basics that looks as good in your bathroom as it does next to a blue jar of Barbicide. Bottled in old-school apothecary style, the all-natural potions have a slight aroma of the botanicals doing the work—juniper, cedar and white pepper—which means this might be one of the few products your girl actually borrows from you.
