At Robin Hood Beard Company we have a vision, to show the bearded community exactly what's been missing in the beardcare industry.

In 2015, I begun my first real beard journey, leaving all previous failed attempts in the past and going all in or nothing. Becoming fascinated by newly showcased beardcare products by lots of different brands, and trust me 'I tried a lot!'. Coming to the actualisation that most of them were pretty generic and didn't particularly suit my beard very well, either too greasy, or not enough of a sucker punch scent wise to my taste.

With that in mind, I did some basic research about what goes into beardcare products, how there made and the overall benefits of certain ingredients. I started developing some testers for myself based on my preferences, just 2 or 3 to see if I could make something different. And oh boy, I did just that!

As I started regularly using the testers I made, the compliments I got were compelling, making extra testers and passing them around to colleagues, friends and random customers in the shop I managed (also sneaking them in their shopping bag), it became apparent to me that I could be on to something special here given the amount of positive feedback I received about how different and unique the scents were.

It was at the moment I knew I wanted to go further down the rabbit hole, I wanted to see where it could all lead. Making the decision in the summer of 2015 that I wanted to put my heart, mind, effort and soul into starting a beardcare business.

Where do I even begin?

Giving myself a 12 month schedule to do this properly, making sure every avenue was explored and leaving no stone unturned, not just creating a brand that was different to the rest of the market, also learning a lot about new business start-ups in the process. I knew that I wanted to base the brand around Nottinghamshire culture and heritage, thus what better way to do so other than the legend of Robin Hood himself!

Plans were then starting to implement and fall into place.

And 12 months nearly to the day...

Robin Hood Beard Company was officially founded on July 31st 2016, starting with just 12 products and a couple of grand taken out my back pocket. If only I knew then what it would become with plenty of blood, sweat, stress, love and tears. But I sure did.

The idea of Robin Hood Beard Company was to create something different whilst keeping the contemporary roots of Nottingham and the bearded community. Offering beard grooming products with scents that were unique and couldn't be found anywhere else on the market, allowing a more personalised alternative, trying something new with products that are easy to apply any time of the day.

With the intention of taking the brand back to the 14th century and concentrating on the 'Robin Hood' theme, old school and passionate scents that would appeal to everyone, taking traditional ideas and re-introducing them into the modern beard community.

Enjoy the craftsmanship and dedication, every single product is handbatched using ingredients sourced directly from the UK.

"We hope you love our inspired beard grooming products as much as we love making them. The passion and determination have allowed the brand to succeed into become something legendary!"
