00:00 All right, looking for that perfect gift for that someone special.
00:04 How about shaving tools and shaving products?
00:06 And who better to help pick out the right stuff than Matt of Rays Emporium.
00:11 Matt, how are you?
00:12 >> What's up, man?
00:12 Doing good, doing good.
00:14 >> And I always like staying next to Matt, cuz if you look, look at us.
00:16 Matt's actually taller than me for once, one person's taller than me.
00:19 But Matt, this is really cool because everyone's looking at those gifts, and
00:22 they're looking at, okay, what do I get my guy?
00:24 I don't know, do I get him a new Ferrari?
00:26 >> No. >> Do I get him a Porsche?
00:28 >> No.
00:28 >> Do I get him a new suit, maybe some Gucci or something like that?
00:32 >> Give him the gift of shaving.
00:34 >> There it is.
00:35 >> Give him something he's gonna enjoy, something that's gonna change his routine,
00:38 change the way he looks, the way he feels about himself.
00:40 Give him an old school razor.
00:42 >> Yes, and that's so important because as we're seeing more guys and
00:45 more people are moving towards this, even me, because it gives a clean shave.
00:49 It's healthier for you.
00:51 And it doesn't really affect you, I hate to say those disposables
00:56 that every guy wants to go get, those aren't good to have, are they?
00:58 >> No, they're not.
00:58 And the other cool thing about this is it's affordable luxury.
01:01 You can spend $100 or $200 and have a phenomenal setup and
01:06 quality products that are gonna last literally for decades.
01:09 And you're gonna feel like a king every morning.
01:10 If you hold a razor of this quality and you come up to your mug and
01:14 you shave in the mirror, you're gonna feel like a king every single day.
01:17 So it's gonna be better than that Ferrari that you only have to drive on
01:19 the weekends.
01:20 >> It's not like that.
01:21 And this is what you guys do.
01:22 You guys have the different razors.
01:24 Even where I'm starting to see more people get into the straight razors,
01:27 which you guys teach people, this is very important,
01:29 cuz we're gonna talk about the meetup coming up in a minute.
01:31 But these are very important, but
01:32 people are starting to use these a little bit, aren't they?
01:34 >> Yes, the straight razors are definitely popular, but by and large,
01:37 the safety razors are where it's at because it's accessible, it's kind of familiar.
01:41 You still hold it the same way.
01:43 The blades are cheap and disposable.
01:44 You don't have to worry about trying to sharpen it or upkeep it.
01:47 But yeah, this is the way that the real guys are going back to shaving.
01:50 And yeah, we're having a huge meetup this weekend.
01:52 Come down to Razor Emporium, down on 37th Street in Washington.
01:56 We're having the Arizona Shavers Meetup.
01:58 We're gonna have 75 or 100 people come out.
02:00 Great day, hang out, learn all about wet shaving.
02:03 >> I like it.
02:04 And what also too is they have products down there.
02:07 You guys have, of course, your line.
02:09 You have other lines down there.
02:10 So if you are looking for a gift and you're just kinda like, okay,
02:12 where do I start?
02:13 You could just start easily with one of this little box set right here.
02:16 >> We have gift sets.
02:17 We import products from around the world.
02:19 We are a stockist of some of the most high quality products.
02:21 Portugal, Spain, England, Germany, you name it.
02:24 We have products from around the world all at Razor Emporium.
02:27 >> I like that.
02:27 Okay, also the setup.
02:29 So if you're looking for the gifts, I'm gonna say right here,
02:31 this is the perfect gift set right here.
02:33 It has the brush, it has the razor and the stand, which I highly recommend.
02:38 Cuz that's very easy.
02:39 And that's pretty much where you go in there and get that for under $100 almost,
02:42 right? >> Yeah, absolutely.
02:43 You could spend 100 bucks and come out looking like a king and
02:46 it's gonna look awesome on the bathroom counter.
02:48 And it's a gift that lasts.
02:49 Again, the quality of these items can't be overstated.
02:52 These are literally items that will last for decades.
02:54 I mean, and we also specialize in restoration.
02:56 Like this razor's from the 50s, but we've redone it and
02:59 it looks brand new once again.
03:01 >> Look at that, and that's something also too.
03:02 So you might have your partner, your husband's grandfather,
03:05 great grandfather's razor that's just sitting there.
03:08 And you're like, what can I do?
03:10 Take it in, get it restored.
03:11 >> Yeah, get it restored.
03:12 We do so many of those.
03:13 Bring it back to life.
03:14 >> I like that.
03:15 All right, we talked about the, of course, the shaving cream,
03:18 what you guys have down there.
03:19 And I gotta tell you, ladies- >> We brought that cuz it's your favorite.
03:21 >> I know, this is my favorite one right here.
03:23 This is 1966 and it smells so fresh.
03:25 >> Tangerine, yeah, sandalwood.
03:27 >> And that's what you can do, ladies.
03:28 You can stop in and pick out what you want your man to smell like.
03:31 >> Shop with your nose.
03:32 I literally had a female customer come in.
03:34 She was buying a gift and what kind of shaving cream?
03:36 I said, lady, this is your choice.
03:38 What do you want your man to smell like?
03:40 And she went shopping with her nose and
03:41 picked out a wonderful fragrance that she loved.
03:44 >> There it is.
03:44 Also, we gotta mention, you do carry the blades cuz those are hard to find nowadays.
03:48 >> Yes. >> And so, the blades for the razors.
03:50 >> There's probably 70 different choices to choose from.
03:52 They all will be a little bit different.
03:54 I tell people it's like tennis shoes.
03:55 You gotta pick out the one that's just right for you.
03:56 So start with the variety pack.
03:57 >> There you go. And see, that's it.
04:00 I hate to say, us guys are easy to please.
04:03 We are pleased.
04:04 You bring us a pack of razors and some shaving cream, we're all set.
04:09 >> And next, Brad, we'll be shaving you with one of these bad boys.
04:11 Look at this.
04:12 >> [LAUGH] >> That's awesome.
04:13 All right, again, let's remind them about where you're located and
04:17 also the meetup time.
