I'm starting to work on a feature for Sharpologist about shaving-related sellers on Etsy. But I admit I'm not "up" on Etsy. Who are the major/notable shaving-related sellers there?
A lot of the sellers that have their own website also maintain Etsy Storefronts. A quick search for "shave brought back over 11,000 results. Shave soaps, shave brushes, restored vintage gear, leathergoods, there is a lot there. There are also resellers, who peddle the same imported junk you see elsewhere, but there are also a lot of artisans who make things that are good quality, even if the name recognition isn't great. Dirty Deeds soaps it what originally got me into wetshaving, and they aren't even on most people's radar. There are also vendors who have one or two types of products related to shaving, but most of their store is not.
I've seen their site and am interested in the "Beer" soaps. Especially the assorted six pack. Looks interesting.
I've never purchased a soap through Etsy, but it is where I've gotten 90% of my DE's. Some very knowledgeable and reputable vendors on there. The two I've used in the past with great results are: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShaveYourSoul https://www.etsy.com/shop/VintageBlade I've never had a problem with either vendor and they're incredibly prompt when shipping.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/521191983/kashmir-shave-soap https://www.etsy.com/shop/WildWestBrushworks?ref=l2-shopheader-name Wild West Brushworks makes some awesome brushes, especially with the Tuxedo knot.

Mantic! You are here! Off topic, but i use your videos to learn! I 've downloaded your beginner youtube videos, so that i can watch them again and again at my convencience! Thank you!
I've recently bought a custom brush handle from Wild West Brushworks. The handle is gorgeous and the vendor was a pleasure to deal with.
Been here since the site's beginning, 2007. I lurk all the time, just don't post much. But thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it!
Yeah, I did the same search. But I was hoping to save some time by getting some help identifying the most popular/relevant ones for "our" niche'
