As a teenager, I spent 10's of thousands of R's on dermabrasion, anti-bump creams etc. to get rid of the irritation on my neck without luck. As a last resort, I bought a DE razor & BOOM! Sorted. That's how The Boar & Badger came about. If I can help just 1 person, I'm happy.

Well... I was going to put in an order for new stock from my U.S suppliers but, I guess it's going to have to wait. If this carries on, I may as well close up shop :(

After much reading and research, I've carefully designed my first vegan base. It lathers like a monster and whips up really rich and seems to hold its peaks nicely. Let's see how long the lather can hold...

I recently had a client return a razor because he found it cheaper elsewhere. This was the very first batch I bought without a wholesale account in the early days. I had to recover the costs somehow with a website to build and bills starting to pile up. It hurt like hell :(

It's getting kinda difficult to keep a website up and running when the power is off for 4 hours at a time when you get home from your day job... Sigh :(

Having started a micro business, created a website, managed accounts/suppliers/imports/shipping & everything else in between (while still working a day job) I really have a BIG urge to support the little guys in the industry! So here's to you - the artisans & hustlers. Saùde 🍻

When I started the Boar & Badger, the Rand was at 13 to the dollar which was more or less manageable. At this rate, my pricing will be so high people will just not buy :(

As luck would have it, 2 of my orders are ready for shipping but our currency is taking a hammering :( Do I pull the trigger now and take the loss (making my resale price crazy high) or run the risk of waiting? Ahhhh man this sucks!

This will pretty much make it impossible to import any goods from the U.S so I'm getting ready to wind down my company :( They say most small businesses fail in the first 2 years.... They were right

Welcome to South Africa @Phoenix_Shaving It was a tiny order on my part (ouch on the exchange rate) but let's see how it goes. Always FANTASTIC to check out new scents!

I've tried a LOT of shaving soaps but I do believe this is the most protective with possibly the nicest cushion I've ever experienced. Just wow! Great product Mr. Fine
