Edward’s shaving shop

A shaving shop should be well stocked, for this to be possible we have a great team of distributors. Before that we have excellent manufacturers. Quality control is very important to everyone in the chain. Edward’s it seems has some loyal repeat customers. Those of which are well looked after often with an extra item as a thankyou for their custom. We also push to get products to our customers by the next day. There are only certain circumtances, where Edwards shaving shop won’t deliver next day.

Where are we going as a shaving brand.

We have a strong social media presence with 7500 followers on Instagram. We have a lot of Interest in our brand from Insta, alot of people want free stuff but that’s okay. Also people are interested in stocking our goods for barbershops and gents boutiques. People usually stock up for christmas time, as high end shaving goods are the ideal gift for the man who has everything. We are keen to bring out more of a cosmetic range to join our epic shaving soap, which is a quirky favourite of the elite.

Do we want our own barbers.

No but yes, but maybe. Probably yes, that would be a great thing. But at the same time, we supply barber shops with our goods. For them in turn to sell to the likes of you lot. We do enjoy being concessions within shops. Providing our products are sold respectfully and from a decent venue. We are growing aware of an Increase of fake high quality shaving goods that have hit our shores. Coming from countries that have no copyright laws. The illegality is when they are bought wholesale and then sold from a platform. Lawsuits are in progress as we speak. Luckily Edward’s shaving shop has little problem to date of this. So watch out for inferior kit.

A shaving shop called Edward’s.

It’s hot, like really hot. There is no better reason to close shave every morning, than the heat wave we are experiencing. An Englishman has trouble with extreme climates. Due to our fair Isle being such a tempid maritime environment. Eastern european shaving enthusiasts, I know often remark at how cold it is in the UK though. Although colder in Poland it is a dryer cold. We have a wet cold that clings making it feel colder. But this heatwave is kicking arse it seems. The latecomer beard wearers are struggling as they scratch there mosquito bitten mesh.

Wondering if this biblical trend is worth it. I would say not. I once had a beard, it was offed on a hot day. I couldn’t take it any more, i took a safety razor to it and also a straight razor. Splashing myself with a refreshing tonic after.

Shaving shop

Shaving is what separates us from the beasts. We are but mammals, warm blooded and fur covered vertebrates. Fur was necessary during the ice age, and our potential to grow beards is a result of this. However In the following interglacial period the cavemen infuriated by this new heat. Also not being aided by they’re partners having nothing to do due to love island being Invented 2.6 million years later. This primordial whizz kid fasioned the first razor out of a flint and hacked at his beard. The shave was poor and afterward he clubbed his wife to death. Nonetheless this was the dawn of new era an era of logic and safety razors.

So do yourself a favour and shave. Not only shave but with our high end shaving products. Our shaving creams and soaps will leave you feeling like Dapper dan and his merry pimps.

Shaving and the ambigeous

At Edward’s shaving shop we sell a few straight razors. Which I think are an exceptional way to shave, given you have a little time. I also enjoy the process of honing, which is a skill itself. But there is something that a lot of men understand, which is a male need for preoccupation. Alike disapearing into the garden shed for a few hours and taking apart a mower. The meditative sense of intent and purpose is a key part of mental hygene, which is why I enjoy preparing a straight razor. Although people are a scared of straight razors, agreed they look a bit gnarly. Another reason is there around the globe in the 1920’s were razor gangs. As carrying a knife was something you could be arrested for. Whereas you could be transporting a razor between bathrooms. Still to this day in Britain a straight razor coincides with legal carrying law.

Shaving and the ambigeous

Alot of people are drawn to the straight razor, perhaps due to the fact that they are so Shaving and the ambigeous. They are not only a high end effective shaving tool. But Interestingly a lot of peoples eyes light up due to the criminal conatations.

Paisley Gangster

I was chatting to a traditional taylor in Tunbridge wells, in order to wholesaling safety razors. He sold hats handkerchiefs that sort of thing. We discussed Paisley as a traditional pattern, which was originally an Indian textile. The teardrop pattern is called a boteh which in ancient persia was thought to ward of evil spirits. It became popular in England as far back as the 17 th century. The shop owner and I discussed the people who bought the popular paisley handkerchief. He explained the obvious upper class gent who would keep one about his person. The shop owner would also discuss the street gangster who would come in and purchase them as a head band. Presumably these local gents are encouraged by the American gang scenes who have worn them to drape out of a pocket or as a head band as far back as the 1970’s in ways to Indentify affiliation. We discussed the humourous contrast, I then asked him if he was a Blood or a Crip. He then explained to me that he was just a shopkeeper.

Old school shaving shop

I shave at the moment about twice a week. I realize that this statement has shocked and even disturbed some of our readers. For this I apologize, but as I am most days greasing the cogs of this magnificient shaving company. I am finding myself shaving with a safety razor on a friday night for a weekend of frolics, and also on the odd day that I hit the town In the week. I feel okay with slight stubble, with the knowledge  that it will be removed when in polite company.

My father of all people asked me how to keep stubble at a certain length. I told him to sling his hook and after a while told him the only way was with an electric razor. I find it Ironic that one my dad was trying to be cool. But also that the purpose of having stubble, was to not really care about facial hair maintenance. But the cutting of this stubble at a certain length to attain a late George Micheal look is quite the opposite of the lumber jack Image.

My Father Is 67 surely he should give up on fake fasion trends? Like when he gave up on me when I told him I wanted to become an astronaught when I was 8.

I always use a shaving brush when I shave, and my mitchell’s shaving soap seems to be everlasting. Seriously It really is never ending. I love the paraphenalia of gents grooming. It fills me with an esteem that from using it before I go out, seems to stay with me all day. Especially a great cologne, which finishes off any shave. I will Introduce a cologne section on the site at some point so hang tight. We will have some great scents to follow.

Shaving shop and gifts for old friends

I was excited to meet old work collegues last Friday, In my old stomping ground Oxford. I was so excited as it had been 1o or so years. I also brought along some safety razors as gifts. After a chat for a while and some Jokes about what was In my black bag. I brought out the Edward’s shaving goods. The first said. “My dad used to have one of these, lethal.” He remarked. Another also turned up his snout. I was quite afronted by his barbed quip as shaving is my life, not only my business. But a ritual In which I enjoy. For me It is making the most of a natural occurance, and relishing it. To ride with the worlds currents is a much better way to live.

I put my razor’s away In my bag and sat down like a child whos project wasn’t up to scratch. They limbered up with drinks and the banter started rolling. We talked about old ridiculous Christmas parties and traded lude annocdotes. I reminded them of when I fell asleep after a party on the 280 bus and woke up locked in at the Aylesbury bus station.

The night continued as more old faces turned up. I again popped out the safety razor’s this time too keen ears. I presented them to two of the pack and gave them an option of the Italian Fatip Gentila or the Edward’s Lifetime. Both were keen and had a little experience, and moreso keen. When I explain the quality of shaving prowess both razor posessed. These two left happily garnishing the evening with thankyou’s. I then noticed the two other earlier mockers that looked rather Jealous and then Intrigued about the remaining razors. Finally Gratitude.
