It would reduce casting costs a lot if the OP was in a razor suit chasing this Guy. But give him hairy legs instead of pants.

Maybe you can track down this hirsute fellow?

holy shit it took me how long to click on this thread
lot to unpack here I'll be back later I'm still processing

YOOOOO! I'm a crazy HIBT fan and it's been a huge resource and inspiration since beginning the BOLT journey a few years back. And, drumroll...I'm actually going to be on this Advice Line segment that they just started. We tape next week! I've actually got quite a few exciting things cooking...background prior to photography was in PR and marketing. Simply a case of hours in the day at this point...but keep your eyes peeled for that blue and yellow B. We're coming!!!

It was a great segment. You really sounded like you had your shit together and that was a hell of a raise for a friends and family run. I think you got this... even if you have to shave a few rando's along the way. I'd offer to help, but I'm not even a shit influencer. What's below that?

Nice video....

This HIBT just popped on my radio. Huge Congrats!

that's a rare male wookie sighting

Hey, haven’t looked at this thread for a while so I thought I was coming w news but everyone is ahead of me on the HIBT segment!

I was driving up to Tahoe tonight and caught the episode on NPR. Came off really, fucking good! Not sure if you done any professionally, but you got a great radio voice and were really good w the pitch.

Congrats the landing that and off to a good start

Now, When do we all get our free razors?! We’re influencers, biatch!

Stumbled back on this mofo and thought I'd give a collective update. Thank you for the kind words, absolute dipshit comments, encouragement, mild douchebaggery...and all the other things. For real tho, appreciate all the positive energy.

BOLT Skin + Shave is a little over 3 mos. old and firing away. Could numbers be better? Always. But...we've shipped nearly 450 orders and more importantly...the greater majority of consumers LOVE our product. Go check the reviews on www.boltshave.com. Best one is dude talking about running into his burning house to save his BOLT razor...and then going back for whatever else. Ha.

We've had some stellar PR with the whole HIBT episode (got a solid bump again from the airing on NPR this past weekend) as well as a solid article in the local paper (read it for the comments--tame by TGR standards, but hilarious by every other standard) https://www.ksl.com/article/51050534...ave-their-legs

I've been seeding product like nobody's business...getting it into the hands of athletes and community leaders in cycling, triathlon, motocross, mountain running, etc. Other athletic pursuits I'd like to put a dent in are swimming, anything mainstream (football), cross fit, bodybuilding, etc. If you have a direct connection to anyone worth connecting with in these verticals, HMU!

Slowly but surely...we are growing. And by and large I'd consider our revenue since launch respectable for a brand that is pushing an incredibly polarizing activity in men's leg shaving.

Now for the real talk: this roller coaster has been wildly difficult. For 15 years as a professional photographer I worked for myself, but I didn't work BY myself. I give myself a pep talk for the ages every day. Some days are amazing...and some days are amazingly brutal. Entrepreneurship and startup life is not for the faint of heart. Hell, it's not even for the stout of heart. It is for someone so relentlessly impassioned to an idea that all logical thinking (read: doubt, failure, despondency) must leave the chat on a daily basis. If you don't believe in your product, in your mission, in your brand...in everything, you will get absolutely vaporized by the difficulty of it all.

We're growing. Feedback from our customers is really encouraging. We've illustrated solid proof of concept. Now it's time to fan the flames and fine tune the offer. I'm raising capital again for anyone interested. Looking to raise an additional $200k. If you or anyone in your circle might be interested, hit me up at abarker at boltshave dot com.

Party on, and remember:

Hairy is Scary.
Stubble is Trouble
Smooth is Savvy.

Nice work, Adam.

Hope you all the best with this.

[Meconium]

You should make an electric one. Don Johnson sponsor it.

[Meconium]

Or something so you can fade the front to back to get a better leg mullet.

Folsom Street Fair is coming up. Those assless chaps need cheek grooming.

And what about the porn guys? Them balls don’t shave themselves
