On March 9th we opened the foundry door to the barbers from all over the UK for a day packed with barbering, food, drinks and special guests. Social in 2025.
The sun was shining (not always), black butter eating food, dice magazine buddies, magazine distributors, horse MFG offering products.

First, with Tools, we asked Bigorna Parlor's Portuguese UCDC guys to share their love for all the classics. Nuno abandoned his beautiful side parts, but his brother (and Vigana co-founder) Carlos went through the traditional hot towel shave using an uppercut deluxe shaving range.
To mix things up, we welcomed a special guest barber. Brad Cowen (aka HBAD) showed us his path around the wild flattop. Brad has been a friend of the brand for over a decade and was the cornerstone of the classic barber scene, so it was an honor to introduce him with a tool that showed off his techniques he picked up in a very diverse career.
As always, we would like to thank the UK barber community and all the barbers for traveling from Europe and participating in us to make the event special!
