Karve Shaving Not Taking US Orders (Temporarily) 

 

Karve has announced they will not be taking new US orders due to the recent tariff situation.  All existing orders will be fulfilled. 

 

As of now, no other vendor from Canada has announced any changes.

Received  New Brush from AOS 

I received the new AOS Synthetic brush in a shaving kit for Christmas. I was very disappointed.  As a fan of AOS products for over 10 years, I feel their product selection and quality has changed significantly.  I’ll tell you my thoughts.

Thought and Prayers for Rudy of RudyVey 

 

Rudy from RudyVey Shaving and Pens, had a minor stroke over the holiday season.  As one of the first custom shave brush makers in modern wet shaving, Rudy has been making brushes for over 13 years.  

 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family!
