Made in USA

JMJ -

I apologize if this has been asked and answered before but I could not find it anywhere.

I am looking for shaving products that are made here in the Good ol' US of A. There must be companies that make everything you need for wet shaving from the razor to the AS.

I'm not putting down stuff made in other countries, I do love my TOBS and I will probably never give up my Pinaud Clubman. Also, being of Italian decent I am very interested in Italian products. Just looking for some new stuff to try that is made here, kind of setting a theme.

So if anyone can let me know what they know is made here I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Unless I am mistaken, Clubman is bottled here in the USA. I'm sure some of the ingredients are imported, but that is almost impossible to avoid these days, even in a American product.

Barbasol products, including the "Brisk" and "Pacific Rush" menthol aftershaves, are made in the USA. Also, if you want a bit higher end aftershave, the Fine line of products are excellent and made in the USA.

Clubman is bottled in US but it says the 'essence' is imported.

I don't think you can get a badger hair knot made in the USA (or boar knot for that matter). Horse hair knots aren't widely available yet, so probably not one of those either. Maybe a synthetic brush knot might be made in the USA?

All these above Also Williams Shave Soap, Whipped Dog Brushes (all badger hair is imported) , Captains Bay Rum that I can recall....

All badger hair is imported from China due to restrictions on the killing of badgers in the USA, Canada and EU. I also believe that all boar and horse hair for shaving brushes is imported. The location of manufacture for the various synthetic knots is unknown. Accordingly, although various artisans turn shave handles in the USA, no shave brush will be entirely American made.

Most mass market razors are also made overseas. However, small manufacturers like Weber and Above the Tie make great stainless models here in America.

The only razor blades made in the USA are Personna Supers/Labs and their cousins the Personna Med Preps.

Your choices of American made soaps and creams is far more extensive due to a significant number of artisan producers like Mikes, Mystic Water, Mama Bear, Prairie Creations Al's Shaving Cream, etc. The Art of Shaving, The New York Shaving Company and Kiss My Face shave creams are also made in the USA.

Queen Charlotte Soaps and Captain's Choice.

Nancy Boy Shaving creams - outstanding product line

JMJ -

Thanks guys for your input. I will definitely look into those products, and be on the look out for artisan soaps and creams.

the new 'Lexington' Gillette Flexball razor lists Made in China and the cartridges, Made in Poland.
