Wet shaving talk

WOW, that was bleak dark and gloomy wasn't it? LOL. With the holidays around the corner, I wanna hear you be a little more cheerful lol. Oh wait, are the inlaws coming over this thanksgiving? Well then I understand you feeling down about that LOL! If the turkey ends up flying out the window, it wasn't me, points at the inlaw holding a fork in each hand. HAHA 

Yeah I hear ya, traditional wet shaving is not a huge industry, so in the grand scheme of things, we probably don't matter as much as say the, Gillette cartridge razor crowd. Having said that however, one can't deny just how much sexier our safety razors are, over those half plastic cartridge monstrosities. Of course, everybody should use what they like, but I like to fly that Blackbird Osprey. Blackbird taking off, airspeeds alive, positive rate, Osprey heavy coming through!

Good point.

Well, to be a bit more positive, I think we are seeing a lot of new manufacturers entering the industry producing really exceptional products, as well as great new products from more established brands. In the last couple of years we had Lambda, Bluttrasur and Atelier Durdan start up - each as good as anything we’ve seen before - and a slew of other new entrants in all price ramges. We have new products like the Karve Overlander, the Rocnel Hybrid at half the price of the eminent Sailor, the Wolfman WR4, etc. We even have high end GEM razors from Wolfman and Atelier Durdan - who’d have predicted that? - and adjustable slant razors from the evil Rex and Homelike Shaving companies. We have the Wald A1 synthetic brush, which is completely different. There are many more highlights than I could possibly list. There is no shortage of quality or activity in the artisan wet shaving world, and no shortage of buyers. Our corner of shavedom is thriving. It hurts that we lost H L Thäter and Vie-Long brushes this year - both favourites of mine - but overall we are gaining far more.

(...)On the other hand, the premium products segment is experiencing growth due to a shift in consumer preference towards high-quality and luxury grooming items. The perception of premium products as a status symbol, along with the increase in brand consciousness and consumer willingness to invest in self-care, has propelled this segment. Manufacturers capitalizing on this trend with targeted marketing strategies and offering unique, high-end products have further accelerated its growth.(...)
