Welcome to episode 56, after a brief summer break I’m back and we leave the East Coast and return on home soil with today’s guest. This razor maker like all of us started with the frustration of cartridge razors, but he wanted to change that and took the initiative of creating his very own razors. To tell us more about his story and journey, Rory from Kronos Razors joins us.
