Sharpologist.com was developed as an evolutionary step from mantic59’s YouTube shaving videos and original blog.  The “shave tutor” videos, as they are known, have become the seminal “how to shave” videos, with over ten million views and over 35,000 YouTube subscribers.

The “mantic59” videos and Sharpologist have been referenced by a number of digital and print mass media, including:

  • CBS News
  • The Washington Post
  • The Wall Street Journal (calling Sharpologist “…a kind of online shaving bible…“)
  • Money magazine
  • The List (syndicated television)
  • Newsmax
  • The Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel
  • Lifehacker
  • Florida Today
  • OnMilwaukee.com
  • New Zealand Herald

Sharpologist.com launched in October, 2011 with the help of a digital media company with almost 20 years of online publishing experience.
