I have been inundated over the last year with Barber Shop products, with every salon and barber-revival shop creating their own products – most of them are average at best.

Johnny’s Chop Shop is different (and the reason I’m posting it) as the products not only speak to me (I’m never going to use a beard oil) but their execution is much better and seems more thought out rather than just a clambered rush to market.

The collection is pretty vast with 11 products already, all of which have just launched in Boots stores and online, as well as in the London-based, Johnny’s Chop Shop.

I’ve been using the hair cream, clay, dry shampoo and shaving foam.

Glide ’em High Grooming Cream

I’ll get it out the way, hair creams don’t work for me – I have very fine hair but an absolute tonne of it so have to avoid anything wet/sloppy as even though it can tame thicker, wilder hair, but makes mine go limp. Tried it, didn’t change my opinion.

Sharp & Easy Shave Foam

The shaving foam is luuurvely. It’s a standard butane can shaving foam but loaded with a little aloe and menthol to give a softening and invigorating shave. Really pleasant to use and will be keeping this in my bathroom cabinet for sure!

Hobo Hair Dry Shampoo

Hobo Hair dry shampoo is amazing. It smells gorgeous and cuts through the grease in my hair like nobody’s business with it’s tapioca starch base. Really hefty and heavy duty plus feels much more appropriate to pull out of my bag than a bottle of Batiste.

Wild Cat Hair Clay

The Hair Clay is also another favourite. It gives great matte hold and really thickens my hair! I use a blowdry styler (usually Phomollient by Aveda or Neal & Wolf Sculpting Lotion) then this is just perfect for supporting and strengthening the style and gives a really long-lasting hold!
