Tristan Walker grew up on welfare in the housing projects of New York. He has since gone on to start a successful shaving razor company for men of color. His shaving razors and products are designed to prevent razor bumps in black men. He recently turned down a half a billion dollar offer from Procter & Gamble, Schick, and Gillette, who wanted to buy his company. He said that he wanted to keep it black owned. ![]() ![]() ![]() Company website http://www.walkerandcompany.com/ People Magazine interview http://www.people.com/article/my-american-dream-tristan-projects-silicon-valley Edited by Knowledge, Nov 27 2015, 03:15 AM.

Got to check this product out. I'm one of those brother who gets skin irritation from shaving easily. Hopefully, I have found a shaver for life. |

I think this will make a great gift set for the men in my life. (Sorry, my AFN brothers, I'm only referring to my non-cyber life. )

I ordered this product as a gift and it's on the way! I also forwarded the link to other black business owners who also like to "keep it in the family" as I call it. It's cool - since they used the referral, they were given a discount.

I received it today. It's very nicely packaged, complete with a notecard from the founder. Though I really wanted to have a complete look at it, I didn't think I'd be able to redo the packaging so that it still looks nice when it's given as a gift. So, I put back the first layer of paper, and gift wrapped the box. Done. Edited by VoiceofReason, Dec 7 2015, 04:47 PM.
