Holy crap, it has been 4 years since we did a blog, come to think of it, in the last 4 years so much has happened with social media, vlogging and AI, that it it is not surprising that none of us miss these old dinosaurs of the information age. That being said, it remains a handy tool to relay information as a source that is always available and relevant, and NOT 'contaminated' by AI that loves combining fact and perception.  The reasons for creating the Bundu sharpening kit were muliple, we realized many guys want to get into straight...

It is Heritage day in South Africa, and for most of us quite special as we have such diverse histories and cultures to be proud of, throw into the mix 12 official lingo's and you can be assured that it will be celebrated in many different ways, but chances are that it will involve a braai.

What is this? It's a pre-shave oil that can also be used as a post shave oil (pre-po), we also dubbed it Vona olie 'vo(or)' and 'na' being the translation for pre- and post in Afrikaans.   Why did we develop this? Mostly because we think most pre-shave oils are formulated with too much focus on the beard and actual shave, and too little focus on your skin and its condition, both pre- and post shave. We also wanted to produce another grooming first, and provide a value for money product to our customers and the South African market. I...
