"Thank you for your quick response and for taking the extra steps to make sure you product meets your high standards. Two of the reasons I purchased your brush is 1) I was looking for a good "silvertip" badger shave brush (I had all but settled on one from the Art of Shaving website) and 2) the things important to you in selling your product are exactly what's important to me in buying them.  Your willingness to put your products up against any other was enough for me."  G.C. California

 

"Your products are a work of art and they work well." D.D. Chicago, IL.
 
 
" I can't tell you how wonderful it is to find someone like you who takes such pride in their product.  The quality of all your products is evident just by looking at them.  I have been searching for a Best Badger shaving brush for some time now (I was lucky enough to find a used Plisson for $5 at a estate sale).  However, after looking at prices that would give Donald Trump second thoughts, and after doing my research about these so called "handmade" English products, I decided to look elsewhere ... to you." G.P. California

"I have one of your razors and a shaving brush, both Blue Wave Swirl. The items are a work of art and the results are the best shave ever. I am 70 and now look toward to sitting in the tub, lathering and shaving. I have encouraged my son in law to try shaving with a mug, brush and the Mach 3. After 3 months he has converted! Now I plan to upgrade his razor for Christmas."
