ON GROOMING FOR DAD - LAST MINUTE (AND POTENTIALLY LATE) FATHER'S DAY GIFTS
Charming vintage photograph aside—and you probably already know this—there's really nothing worse than an angry dad (we've been to enough little league games to know that this is true). If you're finding yourself down to the wire with your Father's Day gift grabbing, and maybe at the risk of making your dad really mad, here are a few last minute ideas you might wanna sport for, courtesy of Blackbird Apothecary:
EDWIN JAGGER - DOUBLE-EDGE SAFETY RAZOR RIBBED CHROME
DETAILS: Shaving with the double edge safety razor is a dad-tested and dad-approved pleasure. Balanced ribbed chrome handle, gives a reassuring weight and feel for a satisfying close shave. Using disposable blades they are a cost-efficient and elegant shaving method that has stood the test of time.
$32
PORTLAND GENERAL STORE - WHISKEY WET SHAVE SOAP
DETAILS: What's dad going to do with that razor if he doesn't have anything to put on his beardy mug? This rich shave soap comes from Portland, Maine, and in a rough and tumble scent like Whiskey, dad'll be quick to lather up.
$15
MUSGO REAL - AFTER SHAVE BALSAM
DETAILS: Made with the classic dad in mind, this after shave balsam is a soothing blend of natural oils and butters to help soothe irritated dad skin. Remember: Irritated skin is a quick way to Irritated dad. This is one of our best preventative measures.

BOIS - CLASSIC 1920
DETAILS: A well-rounded, every day wear in the fragrance department for dad. Sharp citrus and snappy vetiver coupled with sandalwood, cedar and other earthy components make this the perfect scent for a proud papa.

MALIN + GOETZ - VITAMIN B5 HAND TREATMENT

With a very light citrus fragrance, this cream moisturizes and soothes the even the driest of hands, without smelling like that bowl of potpourri in grandma's bathroom.
$20
Hope this finds you in time, all you late shoppers. To all the fathers out there, today we at Blackbird salute you for being good enough to man up for the job.
Happy Father's Day!
