After 7 years of running my online store, the time has come for me to make a difficult decision. It is with a heavy heart that I announce the closure of my my online store. I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of you who have supported me throughout this incredible journey. This past Sunday morning, as I sipped my coffee, I realized that it was time to let go. It was a bittersweet moment as I reflected on the memories and experiences I had gained from this venture. Closing down the store was not an easy decision, but I knew it was necessary to reclaim some lost time and redirect my focus towards my other hobbies, interests, and most...
As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, autumn announces its arrival. It's a season of transformation, and with it comes a shift in scents that surround us.

Like every other blog post I've written I must sincerely begin with an apology. Family, work, life in general, fulfilling orders often take priority (as they should) over this blog. I;ve also decided to create shorter blogs. This will be the first one. So I'll try and be brief and stick to the point. With summer here, one might be quick to assume that citrus scents or citrus inspired shave soaps and after shaves are the go to, and you wouldn't be wrong. However, this year, I've noticed a trend towards tobacco scents and also island themed scents (think pina colodas). While a Pina Colada scent is some what predictable for this warm weather, I was surprised to see that tobacco...
It's our birthday! Today I refreshed my home page and reviewed some orders and noticed a small caption that congratulated me on 6 years. Well if you look at our logo and do the math you might be wondering how we come up with 6 years when the company was founded in 2016. So somewhere between 6 or 7 years we have something to celebrate. Allow me to explain. After a couple of years of exploring wet shaving and beginning the process of getting a shave cream manufactured, it was time to register the business. Stone Field Shaving Co. was founded in the fall of 2016. However, the first sales wouldn't occur until 2017. The first couple of sales were...
Well here we are.....2023! I think it's always important to look back, evaluate or reflect on your past year. When I think back to 2022 it was certainly a year that marked a renaissance for me, not only personally, but for my career and my small business. Last year (2022) started with me returning to the left seat of the 737. During the pandemic (2020) I took a significant pay cut and also lost my captain position because of seniority and layoffs. Almost 2 years later I was back where I needed to be. All was good and things were looking up until March 21st. That was the day my wife called me in a big panic that our house was...
