Everything has a small beginning. – Cicero

In November of 2013, an idea was born, and like some ideas, it happened in a somewhat inglorious way. I had been seated outside on my porch in the blustery cold, thinking of ways to start something great. I had heard a quote, “Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

It had become a mantra and fed an unstoppable aching drive to make a difference in my life and others. Then, my beard started to itch.

I had come inside and realized that it wasn’t snow on my coat after all. I hated it. I tried to grow my beard out and every time I did, I’d shave it after a few weeks because of the intolerable beard itch and the dry skin. So I started doing some research and found out about a little something called Beard Oil.

Without friends, even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious. – Aquinas

It was then that I asked my good friend Shaun to accompany me on a journey to help men with a nagging and very solvable issue plaguing beards everywhere. We had tried quite a few beard oils and they either smelled too much like medicine, or outright didn’t work. So we took to our task. It was our first step to what led us in forming what is now known as Detroit Grooming Co.

2014 presented every challenge possible. Research and development took much of our time but we wanted to get it right. We blended oil after oil together, kept testing yet kept failing. Scents wouldn’t hold, the oils weren’t right, and negative things started to pile up. In fact, our failures could be measured in height and weight.

Finally, we struck a truly exceptional base blend. One that held scent, was made of amazing plant-based wholesome goodness, and made our beards feel like something truly special. Our first two beard oils were Mackinac and Orchard Lake, followed soon after by the legendary Corktown Beard Oil and the unscented Downtown oil.

The company began to grow organically and the first 5 orders of our beard oils went to exotic places like California, Florida, and Arizona. The growth was gradual but strong and from those core products, everything else was born. Beard butter, Hair Pomade, Beard Wash, Shampoo, all followed and we started to grow into our name and our brand. Our early customers shaped our growth as word of Detroit Grooming began to spread nationally and internationally.

In early 2016 we hit some rough seas with a former partner and within a few months, we faced a shutdown. Everything we held dear about our brand and the company was in jeopardy. Then something pleasantly unexpected happened. After a trying set of months in midyear, two men showed up on the scene and injected life into what could have been catastrophe. Steve and Victor were men who shared our vision and came from a similar place in regards to pure unbridled passion for this brand. They loved what we stood for and wanted to see the brand reach new and amazing places.
