Doran Laybourn was in NYC the other day and swung through Frank’s Chop Shop to get blazed and shaped up. You gotta love the full experience at the Chop Shop – they’ve probably serviced more pro shreds than any other barber shop in the world.

WeSC just dropped in to the heart of shred country heavy with the opening of their new flagship store in Aspen, Colorado. With shredders Darrell Mathes and Doran Laybourn leading the charge the WeSC crew turned Cougarville into SoHo, first with a cheese plate and champagne soaked in-store and Videograss premiere, and then with Icelandic electro rockers and fellow WeActivists Steed Lord turning it out at the after party. Radcollector’s got the exclusive first look at the video. Stay tuned for our sick WeSC giveaway coming soon!

Speaking of Darrell Mathes and his new company Masa…Masa was conceived last year by Darrell’s lifelong homie Chris Prosser of Atmosphere who had a moment of enlightenment while listening to Wu tang’s “Protect Ya Neck.” He realized that even though some companies were making them, there wasn’t a dedicated brand making “sick ass” neck gaiters. One call to Darrell and it was a done deal. Not even out the box yet, the Masa team consists of Andreas Wiig, Justin Bennee, Kyle Clancy, Doran Laybourn, and Nima Jalali, in addition to Mathes. Expect some product peeks very soon.
