      Kurt Kueffner’s MENSDEPT. offers men a salon to call home

      June 8, 2010 /

      Kurt Kueffner in his salon, MENSDEPT.The modern world is still struggling to offer men a salon to call home. Kurt Kueffner wants to change all of that with his new barbershop in downtown Minneapolis, MENSDEPT.

      Kueffner tries to put together the pieces of a successful barbershop – the community vibe, the focus on quality service, the friendship – in these times. Just like many other businesses out there, barbershops continue to evolve and with MENSDEPT. offering a clean white t-shirt to customers for haircuts and keeping drama to a minimum in the shop, Kueffner could really be on to something.

      Next time I’m in Minneapolis I’m going to look up MENSDEPT. and try to get in for a haircut and chat!

      Harley Davidson unveils the new XR1200X

      June 7, 2010 /


      When you think of Harley-Davidson, you probably think of cruisers with custom pipes, black leather and biker bars. Harleys are the classic American bike, and the company unveiled its latest, the XR1200X, over the weekend

      The Harley-Davidson XR1200X breaks from contemporary Harley design and embraces the company’s racing roots. The bike is all black, including a blacked-out powertrain and exhaust and black wheels, leaving nothing to polish after a hard day’s ride. The XR1200X is aggressive enough to attract Bubba Blackwell and Seth Enslow, two extreme riders that both pulled off full flips on an early edition of the new Harley.

      The XR1200X was being unveiled Saturday night at 6:30 PM CT in Harley-Davidson’s hometown, Milwaukee. The bike will be available at dealerships later this summer for $11,799.

      Is this why you don’t shave?

      June 3, 2010 /

      It’s well written by the reporter but I think he goes a bit too far with his analysis of why men shave or why men choose not to shave.

      Even though the tough economy has so many of our brothers out of work , the type of work they will likely get back into will require a shave more often than not. Hey, we all like to go a few days without shaving here and there but in all fairness shaving has never been easier. The high tech razors we have available to us these days pretty much put razor cuts in the reaview mirror. Also, The goatee is now more popular than ever but you still need a close shave around it to make it pop!

      I enjoyed the article even though I don’t agree with all of his points. Hey, Also noticed that reporter who wrote the piece is clean shaven in his photo up top!
