ABOUT US
The Full Story
Founder Neil Breed, a US Marine happened to reconnect with a fellow Marine from his days as a recruit on Parris Island during the early 90's. He saw a post with a youtube video that one of the former drill instructors from Alpha Company posted on Facebook and was instantly intrigued.
He thought, wow! What is normally a mundane, manly chore that provides zero relaxation and zero nourishment of the face, was somehow turned into something exciting. As he wielded a vintage straight razor, a refurbished Ever-Ready TM shave brush and some exclusive English shave soaps into a show of skill, style and the art of vintage wet shaving, a new wetshaver was born. He had to get in on this! As most good wet shavers do, a care package was sent out with the intentions of paying it forward and he was instantly hooked.
​
As he made his way along this new path of manlyhood, he became frustrated with the lack of usable and restorable vintage shave brushes (the first weapon of choice in a great wet shave) available on the open market. While restoring a few brushes that were collected from a few antique shops and experiencing the let down of difficult shave brush restorations, Neil felt there had to be a better way!.
What if we could bring back the original names and the original designs using todays methods and materials while offering a plethora of cool vintage and modern day colors? Heritage Collection Shaving was born.
​
Heritage Collection Shaving offers the discerning wetshaver a moderately priced, well designed piece of shaving art from days past. Each handle is constucted of durable matertials that recreate the look and feel of brushes from yesteryear.
​
While our main focus has been on serving the community through vintage shave brush and razor reproductions, we have charted a new course forward with plans to expand our product line while remaining true to the heritage of wetshaving.
