Depot® The Male Tools & Co: Celebrating the Heroes of Barbering - Diego Chamorro

With BARBERS’ STORIES we want to celebrate our heroes.

Men who are visionaries, artists, barbers who have revolutionised an ancient craft. A small European tour, north to south, meeting them on the way so that we can tell you their stories.

The journey begins.

OVIEDO

Spain

The capital of Asturias, Oviedo has an unmistakable appearance, thanks to its splendid cathedral and the starting point of the 14- stage pilgrimage route to Santiago.

Animated by a lively student population, it is the hub of textiles, food, metal goods, and firearms as well as having a renowned culinary scene.

For those who desire a tranquil lifestyle, Oviedo is an ideal destination, therefore perfect for the timing that a serious grooming routine demands.

Diego Chamorro

With his gentle and understated manner, one might not realise that Diego has already collected illustrious clients, such as Oscar-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese, director of films like Taxi Driver and Gangs of New York, when he visited Oviedo in 2018 to receive the "Princesa de Asturias de Las Artes" Award.

Or that it was Diego who was called directly by Barça (Barcelona Football Club) to fix the mess the players had made that one time when, in Oviedo to play against Sporting Gijón, they cut each other's hair and then refused to take the field because they were too embarrassed.

We met Diego in his barbershop.

SLOW BARBERING.
