Portland Razor Company was founded in 2014 in pursuit of the perfect shaving experience, and by 2017 they operated an ecommerce business, a brick-and-mortar retail space, and a barbershop, along with manufacturing their own razors and strops. When the pandemic closed their physical spaces, they went all-in with their online store, and sales are going strong in 2021.

Portland Razor Company’s founders didn’t have tons of savings to finance their company—instead, they sold their cars to launch the business.
