Fall Refresh!

Our Etsy shop is finally all refreshed with photos of our new packaging! Since it's all out there for you to see, I thought I'd just highlight a few of the new details.

First, every kit now comes shipped in one of these adorable wooden baskets.


Our shave soap is now poured into a round tin with a lid featuring our new logo (designed by our friends at Dapper Design)!



And finally, the bottles containing the pre-shave oil and aftershave now have a feature inside the the opening to slow down the flow of the products. They are flask shaped instead of round, and we put a burlap band around each one. Plus they are completely leak proof and now have a tamper evident seal. Yippee!



We hope you love our new packaging as much as we do! Check it out and let us know what you think!

*Details for our "No Shave November" contest are going to be posted soon. Don't miss it!*

Happy October!

Can you believe it's October already?! Before we know it the chill in the air will turn bitterly cold and everyone will start reaching for those winter coats and gloves. This will be our first "real" winter in a few years so we're anxious to see how much we like it. Texas has brutal summers but I must say I thoroughly enjoyed getting to wear my flip flops about 10 months out of every year! :)

We're gearing up for many exciting things that happen in the fall/winter months. Obviously Christmas is on it's way and it'll be busy busy busy around here! But before that, we'll celebrate No Shave November! We're planning a contest with a great giveaway at the end of the month. Spread the word so you and your friends can be part of this great beard race, and stay tuned for contest details!

Also in November, we'll celebrate Small Business Saturday. For obvious reasons, this one is near and dear to our hearts. We try to "shop small" whenever we can. As a small business, we certainly understand the hours of hard work that go into building a business and all the challenges you meet along the way. It isn't always easy, and we don't always succeed, but we believe in small business! Please consider how you might be part of this day set aside each year to support small business owners like us.

We're still working on the website revamp and hope to have that out to you soon!

Is it feeling like fall for you yet or are you still having summer-like weather? Leave a comment below and tell me what you're most looking forward to this fall!
