Our Story

Hello, my name is Andrew,  and while being a vendor at my  first event, I got asked a lot why I decided to start this business, I was honest,  when my last employer went through some restructuring, I was left without a job. The inspiration for this company arrived unexpectedly when a close family friend gifted my 11-year-old daughter a soap-making kit. Fancy flower molds and feminine scents. As we made the soap together, I quite enjoyed it, I began to think about the products that were available to men, or lack there of. The ones that were available were generally overpriced, and not many options. My wife and daughter have entire stores catering to them, my son and I  were left with a little shelf in the corner. With my families support, I dived right in. I wanted to make products that I would like, and that my 17 year old would  like, but that  young men his age could afford. I began asking friends what was important to them when purchasing products,  through my conversations, I decided it was important for Traditional HQ to  focus on price, ingredients, and environmental impact. So please give us a try, no mandatory subscriptions, no gimmicks, just real honest to goodness products, that speak for themselves. Please check out our events section for future events, come on by and check us out, and please leave us a review!  

From the very beginning, we intended to create a full line of products. Every soap is crafted using the traditional cold process method, and every item is made with sustainable, top-quality ingredients. For your peace of mind, our fragrances are developed to follow the strict safety standards of IFRA. Our dedication to the environment is reflected in our packaging, which is nearly 100% compostable and recyclable. We've also made it a priority to avoid stickers that contain toxic inks and adhesives by laser engraving our soap boxes and tins, helping us keep costs down while staying true to our values.

We are focused on bolder fragrances to create a more traditional and distinguished line of products. We knew that most routines have fragrances that compete with each other. Our solution was to create a full line of products that are easy to remember by product numbers, not names, all with a consistent fragrance. For example, our No. 12 Bar Soap and No. 12 Beard Balm are designed to be used together, ensuring a harmonious signature scent.

With every product you choose, you’re supporting more than a business. You’re helping us build a vision for the future, A belief in honest work and quality you can trust, with a goal of one day providing jobs to our local youth in our community.
