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.
