About Us

Dr. Mike's Shaving Emporium was founded in June of 2015 with the idea of revitalizing the culture of classic shaving and grooming. At Dr. Mike's Shaving Emporium we search for the best products created by local and United States based artisans. 

All of the products that we carry, we have personally used, researched, and tested. We stand behind the products we sell and we love our vendors and providers. At Dr. Mike's SE we believe in quality, loyalty, and excellent customer service.
