I never even knew this existed :whoo: I'll definitely be shopping with bevel.

This may be a brilliant idea because as many gyms full of black men and places that I've shaved and as many conversations that I've had with brothers about shaving and razor bumps, this company has never been mentioned. A lot of us shave regularly and don't know about this. Imagine if he can get his product and brand as a household name in black homes here and abroad :ohhh:

I wonder does he have reps or anything pushing his product out on the streets


Hmm reps can hit up all the barbershops in their area...

There's two sides to that business decision.
1. He should have taken it. He could use the money to help the people he wants to. The valuation of the buyout is probably higher than its current value. Those companies don't have to do the R&D and they wouldn't have to develop a new brand name and reputation.
2. He shouldn't take the offer. This business can probably last for a long time and expand globally... as there are black people all over the world. Or he might hold out for a bigger valuation and then sell later.

Not only that, gyms. That's where I and a lot of brothers I know shave at and you have that middle aged and up black crowd that come to the gym regularly for that.

:salute:


With the right marketing he could probably quadruple the offer they gave him.

this...

I guarantee he has financial investors that have a much higher valuation for his company. 500 million is a TON of money but it's an undervaluation if your company is worth 100 million + per year for 20 years...

Breh is gonna add more products and skews and hit that billy in 18 months :myman:

:wow:

Only if Bob Johnson could have done this and didn't sell BET.


People bytched when Bob Johnson owned BET, they bytched when he sold it. nikkas ain't never satisfied


tbh with the way they don't even want black people to BUY networks.. he probably got that pressure...

In Oakland Ca, there was a Brother named Chuck Johnson who refused to sell out to HBO. He always stressed about staying 100% Black owned and not being a guest at his own table. Sadly to say, his television stationed died when he died. :mjcry:

He could sell and start another company. White people do it ALL THE TIME. It's not that deep. How do you think Marc Cuban or Elon Musk got as rich as they are?
