“Last week, a group member, Steve Purcell, and I lived in the humid Bangkok, preparing for a tuk tuk tour, cruised around town where we got stares and reactions from tourists and locals.

“Our main event began at Smith Vintage Club in Bangkok at 2pm, with lad spaces full of hangar-style buildings located on a large block of land surrounded by palm trees, restaurants, retail stores, vintage motorcycles, cars and bars. The winners won a free airfare for the Asian Barbershop Expo in Malaysia this September.
“Our ultimate winner @Y.chiwut was selected by three judges. It consisted of Steve Purcell, Shuzo and Tasara, a group member of Thailand. The runner-up was @phillip_jack_luxton.
“Following the fight, the cut demonstrations were offered by both Shuzo and TA. Everything was capped by a heater of the demonstration and education session with the founder of Uppercut (and part-time comedian) Steve Purcell. As a finale – hosted by myself with the help of @peatrockk translation. After that, it was a more looser and more relaxed look.
“Sideshow Spectacles kept everyone excited, like music from @TheTerraceVibeBand, live event tea screen prints from @luciano.garments, beer, pizza from @visonb @smithsvintageclub, and flash tattoos penned by @king16barber, @sixtetatoshop.
“The Good Times flowed throughout the afternoon and the evening. We'll show you new products like Resin & Rose, and introduce you to another new contender with a simple spray application using aptly named Cray Spray, in addition to the launch of the next big pomade, where the next big pomade is called Texture Cream.
“Overall a huge thank you needs to go out to our Uppercut Deluxe Thailand family Tim & Nat @uppercutdeluxe_thailand, Smiths Vintage Bar, Shuzo and Ta Sara @helloshuzo @therealkiartisak, Barber Battle finalists @y.chiwut and @phillip_jack_luxton, plus @peatrock for translating and videographer @city_studiox.
