Badlands Shaving Co.
Mandan, North Dakota
About Badlands Shaving Co.
Badlands Shaving Co. is the quintessential family business. Melvin Faris drew on years of experience in construction and an interest in woodturning to start a business selling craft razor handles, which he produces with his son. His wife does the engraving on each piece, along with the company books and quality control. All is handmade, individually produced, and Faris takes time to search out interesting pieces of wood to give every product a unique look. “We do not use any duplicating methods,” he explains on their website. Everything sold at Badlands Shaving is one of a kind.

Western-style hats.

Newmarket, New Hampshire
About BaileyWorks
BaileyWorks’ original bag was designed for bicycle messenger whose gear must withstand extreme wear and tear. Since its start in 1993, BaileyWorks has sustained that same level of quality but expanded its product range to include backpacks, yoga bags, belt bags, pouches, and totes, all earning stellar reviews for their endurance thanks to the company’s insistence on handcrafting one bag at a time in its New Hampshire factory.
