A great beard deserves a great product

     Growing a great looking beard and in my case an awesome mustache takes work, patience
and great product(s)! No, we are not talking about your shampoo/conditioner/body wash combo.
There are many options out there – how do you decide? Well you are in luck! Kyle and myself
(Sean) are going to help you out!
      Once I figured out that my body wash and partner's hair brush was NOT the answer I went
looking. I really had no idea what I was looking for…so I did what every guy out there does, ask
the first guy I saw with an amazing beard what he used! No, it’s not weird at all, only weird if
you make it weird. With the information in hand I looked for different products here and there,
but couldn't find exactly what I wanted. Then for Christmas my beautiful fiancé gave me an
amazing little kit that I instantly knew was the right stuff!
      The kit came from Mountaineer Brand out of West Virginia, USA. They are a family owned
company that started in 2013 and ran by a brother and sister. They offer a wide selection of 100%
natural beard and shave products. They offer a few different scents including un-scented. I
received the Complete Beard Care Kit consisting of a beard wash, oil, balm and brush all in WV
Coal scent. It was wrapped up in an awesome little burlap sack. 
       I have been using the beard wash for three weeks now and love it. My beard is manageable
and soft. The WV Coal is a light, but nice Patchouli scent. I am not a huge patchouli fan, but this
is very light. The brush is soft and doesn't irritate my face which is good, because I am
constantly brushing it. The beard balm is the perfect grooming finish for your beard. It has a
decent hold, but not enough for my awesome handle bar mustache. I reapply balm midday to
keep my curl.
       I recommend this product to those of you just starting out or looking for a change. I would
be curious to smell the other scents and try the wax or hear what your opinions of it are. The kit
and other products offered could be found at their website at www.mountaineerbrand.com

Thats some good Mustache Wax!

               Over the summer I found out that not all mustache waxes are created equally! Not even by the same manufacturer. This being my first summer with a majestic mustache, or so I am told, I was not prepared for the heat and humidity. On a lunch stroll through downtown Olympia my fiancé and I walked into Archibald Sisters . I was having a bad mustache day and was so frustrated, I was contemplating starting over. I stumbled across Fisticuffs Mustache Wax tester in their shop.                First thing I noticed was the awesome container it comes in. Besides the cool label, its compact and fits in my pocket perfectly. It comes in a variety of scents, I prefer the Bay Rum. It’s a light refreshing scent that is not over powering. The wax itself has a light, clean feeling and melts easily in your fingers for application. What I appreciate most about this wax is that i...

Well 80's "Olympias Best Mustache Contest" 2018

My kids are offended with my mustache! They get irritated with random people chatting me up over my ‘stache in the grocery store, picking them up from school, or even walking around downtown Olympia. One of the things they are always saying is why do people keep asking you if you compete? I never really thought about competing, my ‘stache was requested by my fiancé and also I had no idea about how competing works. Luckily for me a local spot, Well 80 , in Olympia decided to put on “Olympias Best Mustache Contest”, November 30, 2018.                I decided to enter! I take meticulous care of my moustache, it was looking pretty great that night. Upon arriving about an hour and half before the competition and the spot was packed. Butterflies were in full effect, good thing they have great drinks. I was handed a piece of paper to fill out with questions like, “What’s your mustaches name”, “what’s its super power”...

Hash on the Westside

In addition to good bourbon, I love a great breakfast spot! Unfortunately, there are few real breakfast joints in town. Luckily for us a new spot opened in West Olympia called Hash . Hash opened up over the summer and has been packed ever since! The menu is simple and has something for everyone, including kids, and offers several vegan plates. We went in for Sunday breakfast around 10:30 am and the restaurant was packed with many names on the waiting list. We sat outside and enjoyed the summer sun until our table was ready. The staff were polite and quick. Once seated we got our drinks and looked over the menu. The smells and atmosphere was chill. As we pondered over what to order a huge piece of cornbread delivered to our table! It was interesting, almost like a cornbread cake with strawberry whipped butter. We decided on our orders; the Mojado Burrito and the Traditional Benedict. The Mojado Burrito is a wheat tortilla full of scrambled eggs, applewood smoked ham, green chi...
