How Many Of Us Are There, Really?

I finally put some numbers around a question a lot of us ask: How big is the traditional wet shaving niche in the US?


The answer is probably smaller than most people assume, but larger than it feels when you’re deep in the hobby. Every reasonable path through the numbers lands in the low single digit millions, with a central estimate of about 2 to 3 million men who actively shave with traditional gear.


This is an estimate, but it's not a guess. The article walks through the assumptions step by step so you can see where the numbers come from and decide for yourself whether they hold up.
