The story of Hawkins & Brimble began in 2016 when its founder Stephen Shortt noticed a lack of natural premium quality men’s grooming and skincare products on the shelves of British stores. In addition, most of the products seemed to smell of mint or lemons. For what seemed like an eternity, Stephen went about creating products that he could use (and his wife when she steals them!), without harming his skin or smelling like a cheap lemonade.
