“ How to get a superb shave every time” The art of shaving has not changed much in the last few decades. At least not for the better. More impossible to pronounce synthetic and often toxic ingredients have been added to main stream shave foams and gels which cause irritation and pollution. Razors have gone high tech by adding more blades and even batteries in an effort by the manufacturers to make us spend more money, unnecessarily. The blades cost ten times more now than they did 20 years ago and they donʼt give us a closer shave or last any longer. Planned obsolescence and maximizing profits seem to be the driving force behind the industry. Further troubling facts are that the big boys spend far more money marketing their products than putting money in to R&D that would actually address the shaving issues that men and women around the world face on a daily basis. Seems the order of the day is to pay celebrities millions of dollars to tell us how great this is rather than to set out to make something truly great for every day people and the planet. One morning several years ago, after shaving, Robert Benzinger looked at his nicked up, razor burned, ingrown hair covered face and concluded that there had to be a better way to shave. His razor was clogged with gunk and the sink was coated with sticky chemical laced stubble which would soon be washed down the drain. The razor went in the trash deemed useless after only a week of service. In a fit of “shave rage” Robert decided to make it his mission to invent a shaving solution that would not only alleviate his personal shaving issues; but also improve the performance and extend the useful life of his razor. What at that moment started as a hobby soon became his passion and later an obsession. The ingredients had to be botanical renewable resource and of the highest quality. They had to serve many purposes. Primarily to be regenerative and soothing for human skin and also proven to preserve metal. Filling in the blanks was the ability of the solution to provide a quick, close, comfortable shave and for it to have a wonderful, uplifting natural scent. It took a few years; but the final solution exceeded even Roberts expectations. He was rewarded by being granted two US patents. More importantly the skin on Roberts face looked better than ever. Completely free of ingrown hairs, nicks, cuts and redness. He was now routinely using the same razor for several months at a time with no trouble. Applying the shaving solution he put on his face to the razor head between shaves kept it pristine. Focusing on his the skin and razor treatment had been a really clever idea. Roberts lovely wife Zoe, a professional esthetician, became actively involved when she discovered how smooth her legs felt after shaving with the product. Zoe was amazed at the fact that she no longer cut herself while shaving and that all the little red bumps had completely disappeared. She actually found the experience anti-aging. Her skin feeling soft and supple as ever. They started sharing their shaving solution with friends and family members and before long they were getting checks in the mail from all over the country for bottles of this shaving miracle that didnʼt even have labels. The Benzingerʼs decided at that point that they owed it to the world to share the “shave love” and to go in to business . Several friends and family members encouraged them and “put their money where their mouth is.” Thus eco-armour was born. The first few years Benzinger family sold the products on a grass roots basis at farmers markets, festivals and to local salons and spas in and around Annapolis Maryland. Now they enjoy a cult like following of fiercely loyal customers/advocates. They also started a website: www.eco-armour.com from which “shave with benefits” to just people in just about every state in the nation and even to six countries internationally. Leading beauty bloggers have heaped countless accolades on what started out as one mans quest to solve his own problem, became his lifeʼs work and has grown in to a family-owned corporation which promises to help men and women who are also looking for a better way to shave for themselves while helping the environment. “Shave with benefits” has been discovered by celebrities like Heidi Klum and Sugar Ray Leonard who have unselfishly helped the cause. eco-armour is now going in to national distribution and plan to expand to the EU next year. Being inventors at heart The Benzingers have built on their alchemy experiences and have added new and novel botanical skin care products to the line in an effort to offer common sense useful botanical alternatives to toxic chemical products that currently rule the world. Every eco-armour product has been really well received. Through word of mouth and guerilla marketing eco-armour is really taking off. All the products are still manufactured by hand to Roberts exacting standards. The fact that everything is made with love is evident to all who have had the good fortune to try them. “shave with benefits” represents the Holy Grail of shaving and honestly offers men and women alike a superb shave every time.
