In this mid season finale (of sorts) we speak to Ashley Jones MBE. Ash is the host and creator of The Chaps Guide. A YouTube channel with over 8,000 subscribers. I've been a fan of the channel for quite some time since discovering Ash has a love of traditional wet shaving and his content is without doubt interesting and unique. It's not every day you get to speak to an MBE either!
