Brand Development and Promotion Report - EDGE Grooming

As masters of manscaping, at Edge we believe that we shouldn’t have to compromise when it comes to getting that perfect shave. Whether you’re a beard buff, moustache maven or a connoisseur of the clean shave, we have the blade for you. Designed by men for men, our team of craftsmen have expertly designed our products using chromium steel to ensure optimum results.


T H E M E S S I N E S S OF M A N L I N E S S At Edge we embrace the messiness of manliness. One way we try to do this is by talking about things, that don’t get talked about as much as they should. We have teamed up with The Movember Foundation, the pioneers of the ‘Grow Your Mo’ trend, to help raise awareness for men’s health. Our goal is to create an environment in which men can feel safe and supported about varying issues, be them big or small.


M E E T D A N Our head designer, Dan, created Edge because he wanted to shave, his way. The way he had been taught by his grandad. A tradition. He knew that old school shaving didn’t have to be difficult and he wanted to share the art. When he asked around, he learnt that lots of chaps were keen to learn, so he decided to do something about it. “I want people to look at Edge and think ‘men for men’.”




Every blade we’ve made – and we mean every single one – was cast on the same belief. That manscaping should be more than just a collection of blunt shaves and razor burn. Above all, shaving should be absolutely simple, precise and a pleasure to do.








Individuality is celebrated at Edge! Our products have carefully been designed with everyone in mind.

Precision in how it’s made. Precision in the shave. Our razors have been cast using the highest grade steel which allows for the closest of shaves when following our four step system.

shaving with Edge products will leave users discovering their own unique ways of grooming, with the buildable toolkit, shaving has never been so tailored to your own face.

Over 50% of men claim that their biggest grooming problem is not knowing how to shave properly. Here at Edge we have developed a unique four step system tailored to shaping and perfecting facial hair: PREP, SHAPE, CUT, SCULPT. We are with you very step of the way providing various tips to achieve that perfect manscape.

We know that shaving isn’t a one size fits all kind of job. We’ve designed a buildable tool kit, so you can buy the tools you want, suited to YOUR face, because at Edge we understand that there’s a lot more to shaving that just one razor.


Your bathroom is your sanctuary. It’s where you prepare to present yourself to the world outside. Somewhere between the towel rack and the shower, you will have your most profound thoughts of the day. A space that important deserves more than floss and the ghosts of your birthday-suited karaoke. At Edge our range of amenities - some indispensable, some indulgent - will make you the master of manscaping to achieve your perfect you.


‘Dali said intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.’ Clearly, you’ve got both in abundance; all that’s lacking is better preparation. Small upgrades to your grooming can make big differences in organisation, confidence and execution, and Edge offers just that. Rather than giving yourself an awkward wet shave in the office bathroom, clean up using our portable tools and get presentable for your presentation without irritation.

For the travel pros. You’ve seen it all. You glide through check-in andmake the body-scan look like a photo shoot, but it’s the right kit that makes a world of difference. Whether you’re embarking on a shuttle flight or a trip around the globe, there are an essential few things- including grooming kit because travelling is irritating enough without razor burn. Edge’s travel tools, provides a shave that’s buttery smooth and refreshingly cool, even if your flight isn’t.




Edge was born! On this very day we bought to all you lads, the mastery of Edge. Join us to look bacl at all our work we’ve achieved this year, after all we couldn’t have done it without you lot!
