It’s November 17th and—somehow—there’s still no snow on the ground. In Manitoba, this feels a bit like finding an extra cookie in the box: unexpected, appreciated, and absolutely not to be trusted. We all know winter is simply biding its time. We are, as pilots say, flying on borrowed daylight. Meanwhile, behind the scenes at Stone Field Shaving Co., I'm working hard… and, yes, still trying to solve the never-ending puzzle of cross-border shipping. I know—I know. It shouldn’t be this complicated to send great shave products a few miles south. I’d love nothing more than to hand-deliver your aftershave myself, but alas, regulations say otherwise.So please—write your Congress. Let them know that wet shavers everywhere deserve better. Republican or...
When I think back to the early days of Stone Field Shaving, what stands out most aren’t the sales or the logistics — it’s the feeling I had when those first few orders came in. Each one felt like a small miracle. Someone out there, maybe miles away, trusted me enough to send them something as personal as a shaving soap or a razor. That trust meant everything. I’d take so much time with the packaging. I remember sitting at the table with rolls of craft paper and twine, carefully wrapping each parcel like it was a gift for a friend. I wanted the unboxing to feel special — to show the customer that I genuinely cared. The twine didn’t...
Sippin’ by the Fire: The Perfect September Shave Experience I woke up this morning and checked the temperature — just 15°C. After such a wonderfully warm (okay, downright hot) summer, I have to admit: these cooler mornings are starting to shift my mood. September has a way of doing that. Maybe it reminds you of the 1978 Earth, Wind & Fire hit, or maybe it's back-to-school vibes that come to mind. For some, it’s the quiet signal that summer is winding down and the seasons are about to change. As the days grow shorter and the crisp air sets in, there's something undeniably comforting about winding down with a good drink and a warm fire. At Stone Field Shaving Company, we’ve...
There’s something special about getting away—disconnecting from the usual rush and slowing down to soak in the moment. Earlier this summer, my family and I spent a few days on a houseboat, floating peacefully on the lake, surrounded by still water, fresh air, and no real sense of urgency. I made a bold decision before the trip: I left my shaving gear behind. Four days in, the peaceful stubble turned into something a little less “relaxed” and a little more “itchy.” So when we pulled back into the marina, I decided it was time to clean up. I didn’t have high expectations- I just wanted a basic shave to tame the growth. But what happened turned into a small revelation...
As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, there’s something about summer that calls for a fresh start — whether it's a clean shave before a weekend at the lake, or simply making your morning routine a little more refreshing. At Stone Field Shaving Company, I believe shaving should be more than a chore. It should be an experience — especially in summer, when less is more and comfort is key. Lighten Up for the Season In the warmer months, skin tends to be more exposed to sun, sweat, and the elements. That’s why it’s a great time to simplify your routine with light, moisturizing shave soaps that cool and nourish the skin. Our catalogue features artisan shave soaps...
