    I ordered some shaving products from ShaveNation, they arrived today with personal note, free samples, free towel and extra shaving bar. I said to my self "wow what a great guy". After seeing this video (which nearly made me cry) I am now sure you are a great soul Geo! I always tell people "hardship makes better people"... I love your videos, the product you sell, but now I love you as a person. Wish you and your family more success and happiness. Your story touched my heart.

    Murat Turk Same here. My first order came with a personal note, towel, keychain, and free samples. When I opened the box I had to take another look at my order to see if there was a mistake. No mistake! Just some nice folks going the extra mile to make someone happy. Well it did make me very happy! It’s not about me getting something for free. It’s about a company going above and beyond to say, hey thanks for your business! That means a lot to me. Especially in this day and age we live in. This is the first company in a very long time where I felt like they were really happy to have my business. Great customer service goes a long way! Shave Nation definitely has some great customer service along with some great products. They definitely have my business for all future shaving products.

    I've had this video done for a while and was contemplating uploading it. There's a lot of personal information here that I wasn't sure I wanted to be sharing with the world. So many people have asked to interview me about how the company started over the years. I didn't want to give it exclusively to just one person, or wind up repeating the same story many times. I finally decided to go for it and tell the whole story on KZread. This way everyone can see it and learn from it. If you gain even a little bit of motivation, strength, willpower, fortitude, whatever you want to call it from it, then everything we went through was not in vain. Judging from all the positive comments on this one, I think I made the right decision. Thank you all for watching and commenting.

    Keep it up, Geo! I always bargain shop, but the few things that are a couple bucks more on your website than on Amazon or any other site, I still buy from you. I support every bit I can! From your website, I’ve bought over $500 in gifts for the gents in my family in the past month alone, and I’ve already budgeted out another $1,000+ more in Shave Nation gifts for the next few months because my other siblings (sisters included) fell in love with dad’s gift set I got him. I love wet shaving, and I love sharing the experience with my family and close friends. My dad says it reminds him of his dad and grandpa back when he was a kid growing up in Mexico, and claims that I stole his grandpa’s safety razor just to give it to him 😂

Usually my wife will walk by and glance at the TV when I'm watching the videos but this time she stopped, sat down and watched it all. She enjoyed it and said to say hi. And you're right, it's not what you say that people remember, its what you do. Keep doing what your're going and God Bless!

    Geo your videos taught me how to shave with a a double edge razor. I remember coming across one of your videos by accident. I saw it and thought it was interesting. I was still shaving with my mach 3. One day I go to a convenient store and I saw my first safety razor a Lord with the Merkur head for $2.99 and next to it was a pack of Wilkinson sword blades for .99 cents I bought it went home and thought about your video. I was going to shave with a safety razor for the first time. That was 7 years ago. Here I am with my 3 inch screen phone trying to follow what you do. The first shave was horrible but I didn't give up. I kept on watching your techniques and I got better. I then purchased a Merkur 42c with a a vanderhagen set. I shaved with that razor for 6 months. I was intrigued by one of your videos on the Merkur Progress I purchased the Long handled version then I started buying Gillette SS and even a gem now I lost count how many razors blades and soaps I own Including about 10 shave brushes. Your a great teacher and all the stuff you went through you never gave up. I'm a single father I have an 8 year daughter my ex wife passed away October 26,2016 it's been hard I was married for 10 years. I miss her alot but life continues. Thank you for your inspiring story and for being humble and transparent God bless you Geo.

    Thanks for sharing how you got started, and giving those words of encouragement to everyone watching. I know this comment might feel, at least for you, a little "late to the party" since as I sit here, this video was posted a little over 3 years and 3 months ago, but I think it's really great that you shared your story with everyone. There are a lot of times when people get discouraged because they are at a point in their lives when it's not quite going as well as they would like. It can also make things worse when they are envious of someone else's success, not knowing that the success they envy could very well have resulted from a similar situation to the one they currently find themselves in. A long while ago, close to around 20 years now, I had a manager / mentor who told me something that really stuck with me and I've tried to pass on to people I manage. "There are two types of people in the world. The ones that show you what you SHOULD do, and the ones that show you what you should NOT do. The trick is figuring out which is which. :-) Again, thanks posting the video.

I couldn't imagine going thru what you and many others did. That's the great thing about your country (and mine!); you can get knocked down and don't feel like getting back up but you found a new calling and are doing great at it. There's always second chances. If the exchange rate was better I would order from you. Keep up the great work with the videos and I would love to hear more stories.

    Thanks for the video, and background info. I find your sites quite helpful. I'm 61 years old, retired Army National Guard Medic. When I went to Baghdad in 2004, I didn't want to carry pressurized cans of shaving cream, nor their weight. so, I found a generic set containing a brush, cup, and shaving soap. They took up a lot less space in my kit, and I didn't worry about a possible can rupture, as soldiers are pretty rough on gear. The one thing I didn't have, though, was a safety razor. That came later, after I left Iraq. I found at a yard sale, an old 3 piece safety razor, that may go back to the 1940's, not sure though. i plan on ordering supplies through you, as I am tired of only finding blades at Wal-Mart, when I get some things sorted out. Thanks again Justin I

    Hey, Geo. This came up in the feed from my subscriptions. It looked like it would be worthwhile. From the moment it started, I didn't want to exit the video. Very interesting, especially when considering what you've built after having gone through "the wringer." Yes, I know what you're talking about. The tough times bring a person down to Earth and have him realize what's at his core and an appropriate direction or directions to pursue after shedding what's unreal. In other videos of yours, like at the end of this one, your interest and care for others' wellbeing and progress, in whatever area or endeavor of life, comes through. You're for real, guy. Thanks. This video was nothing but very worthwhile. Best wishes, Geo.

    Hey! Loved your story and it's all about life and overcomig obstacles and getring up after those difficult falls. I live in the Dominican Republic and I've following you and viewing your videos for 4 or years and what I like about them is that they are pretty straightforward. Keep up the good work. Congratulations!

    Hi Geo, Dave from England here. A great and inspiring story my friend. You should be proud of your achievements and determination to succeed. I too really enjoy your videos and have got lots of help from them. I have just this second finished watching your story. It is another difficult time for us all with the Covid virus impacting on our work and homelife. Impacting on our very existence in fact. I work in the Theatre industry and we have been hit pretty hard having no "Shows" since March. I went on Furlough at that time with 80% of my wages being paid through the Government. This will soon be done and I'm pretty sure I will be laid off without pay until the Theatre reopens. Also my partner went to visit her Mother in Jamaica this March and got stuck there until 10 days ago. She was involved in a car accident out there so I had to pay for her medication and treatment as well as helping her out with money with food to help her family. I thank God she is now home! In this time I have been using my Carpentry/joinery, painting, decorating and plumbing skills at a local Community centre as a volunteer. It has been really fulfilling and has kept my hand in with the tools. I hope you and your family are well and safe during this time. Love and best wishes from England, Dave.

    Greetings from Texas. I just recently started watching your videos and I have decided that when my monthly check gets in I'm going to be doing business with you. After watching this story it's cemented by decision. I was born legally blind and I had to fight my way through a bunch of stuff but I spent 20 plus years and information technologies. And 2012 I lost my wife to suicide and then three or four years after that I lost a job I had for 16 years and then about 3 years after that due to another issue I was born with I started having to walk with a walker and I can no longer walk on my own without some sort of assistance and some days even a wheelchair. You are correct when you say that you feel that that was the path God had set before you for the time you were born because I feel the same way. Making changes in our lives is a good thing from getting rid of negative attitudes to even if something is mundane is changing the way we shave and making it unjoyable process instead of just another daily task! We will be doing business soon my friend!

    Geo, I had no idea, I'm almost speechless. You hitting pretty much rock bottom and then rising to the top with Shave Nation. Wow! I found your videos online a few years ago and am not ashamed to say you taught me how to shave the "correct way". I've ordered from Shave Nation since and I always get a personal handwritten note and sometimes, a free sample (not that it's necessary, but a great gesture and much appreciated). Thanks Geo and my best to you and your family!

It funny how we start doing something that we like and then life happens and we start doing what we love. Thanks for your tutorials and for helping me perfect my shaving. I must say shaving for me is not only about having a clean shave but a form of therapy. My man.

    Hey Geo, I was a cart razor user until I watched your videos. Your honesty and candour is really appreciated. I've watched a good few of your videos now and they gave me the confidence to make the leap. I felt awful after using a cart and since making the jump to DE there's a massive difference in irritation on my lower neck. I went in at the deep end with a Parker 31R (you were right, try to be ambidextrous with it ASAP!) . I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your videos, they've made a big difference to me. I dare say some of your tutorials have set back the alum industry but my face thanks you!
