What types of products do you carry or services do you provide? We sell hand and body soap, shaving cream, shaving soap, and accessories. Everything but the accessories is handmade. We are also working on an aftershave balm and an aftershave, as well as continuously looking to improve our products.
What inspired you to start your business? I started wet shaving in 2009. At the time there were no artisans who made traditional cold and/or hot process shaving soap. There were also few companies who tried to make their products as natural as possible. I felt like there was a niche, which prompted me to start my business.
