So guys I was looking for a little feedback on here from anyone and his dog. This is my first "REAL" business per se so I appreciate any comments. Just tell me what do you think and is there anything that could be improved in your eyes in regards to the packaging of the product etc. We have been featured in GQ Magazine in the past and believe we are different from the other shaving tools on the market due to the flexible material the template is made from and the fact it is see through so you can see exactly where you are shaving.

Shall I remove the post? I don't want to cause any upset or anything of that sort. Ive left website names etc off of the post for this reason I was purely looking for some feedback really. I can remove the post if not allowed.

How much research have you done into the market? I have a beard and I get it shaped at the barbers, as does everybody else I know who is bearded. I think you're going to have a really, really small target audience.

Edit: Your website needs a lot of work and did you know there is already a brand with the same name as you that ranks above you in Google search?

I purchased the business when it had already been setup with that brand name, I now also have a UK Trademark so working on focusing on the new brand once stock has moved that I currently hold. In terms of the website I know it currently needs working and I have plans on getting this moving in the next month or so.

Now the actual product itself is not there to replace the barber experience but to aid in keeping the barber finish when trimming at home and to keep the symmetrical look of a freshly trimmed beard.

I have a beard and shape it myself (always have). I understand some can't shape very well but those that don't, go to the barbers surely. Like above, this is a very niche product.

How does it work?
As stated above the product isn't there to remove the need to go to the barbers it is there for when you need a touch up/trim without the need to visit a barber. The template is held into position on the face depending on which style/look you are going for. It is more of an upkeep tool in between barber visits rather than replace the need altogether.

I have looked into video advertising and have been quoted £899 +VAT. Ideally looking for a cheaper way to produce this whilst still looking professional and not a camera just shoved in my bathroom! haha
