Rob’s Bio:
For over 20 years for me, shaving was a chore – an irritating neccessity that left me with a sore neck and red bumps. I switched back and forth from multi-blade cartidges and canned goo to electric razors every few months. I was sure there had to be a better way.
There was!
In 2011 my wife got me a cheap boar shaving brush and Proraso soap from our local drug superstore. I knew things were looking up from the very first shave and I was hooked in a huge way.
From there I progressed to double edge razors, badger hair brushes and pretty much everything in between. Shaving became a joy – something I looked forward to each and every time. I enjoy the collecting and restoration of vintage razors and began to realize a lifelong passion for woodworking by making wood shaving brush handles.
