Above The Tie Interview

Listen to this article

This is my interview with Stan Hickam of Above The Tie razors, done at the “Big Shave West” wet shaving meetup in Pasadena, CA on April 22, 2017.  Stan and I discuss Above The Tie’s history and philosophy, and Stan shows me a sneak peak of his new “GEM” style singe edge razor!

Apologies for the less-than-perfect audio, I accidentally set my microphone on the wrong mode and I had to do a little compensation processing in my video editor.
