I saw this mentioned on a US Shaving Forum, but I’m not sure if it’s been officially announced by Phil, thus please treat with care until it is.

Bullgoose Shaving Closure Details
Announcement of Closure
Bullgoose Shaving Supplies will officially close its doors on May 1, 2026. This decision marks the end of a long-standing vendor in the wet shaving community, known for its quality products and customer service.

Reasons for Closure
The closure appears to be influenced by several factors, including:

  • Legal Challenges: Bullgoose has faced a lawsuit regarding ADA compliance, which has put financial strain on the business.
  • Market Competition: The rise of cheaper products from overseas manufacturers has made it difficult for small businesses to compete.
Community Impact
The closure of Bullgoose is part of a broader trend affecting many small retailers in the shaving industry. Other brands, such as Vielong, have also announced their shutdowns, indicating a challenging environment for traditional shaving suppliers.

Final Events
Before closing, Bullgoose will participate in the 2026 Charity Auction starting on March 13, 2026. This event will provide an opportunity for the community to support the business one last time.

It was officially announced, he posted a video on IG. Although I’m not a regular costumer, far from it, always seen with interest the products that he carries and the collaborations that he did. Sad news.

Thank you for the confirmation, I hadn’t seen this on IG as yet.

Thank you very much for your patronage over the past 17 years! We have decided not to renew our lease and will be closing for good on May 1st. We had a great run but, the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. We will have one more release of Ascender razors but will not be restocking anything else. #businessclosure #announcment #wetshaving #wetshavingcommunity #shavelikeaboss

The Americans with Disabilities Act???

China is killing off all legitimate businesses, flooding the market with cheap crap.
You’re kinda hitting the nail on the head IMO.
Whether it’s the credit crisis or a general downturn in the hobby who knows, probably both and more.
Everyone seems to be buying the cheaper hardware. I wonder how long the likes of Blackland etc can continue.

Dealing with a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act is costly, plus the company is in Small Business Unfriendly California.

Never bought from them, but BullGoose Logo wss cool.

My business was CA based, I learn that term Pride of Ownership fast, I was last one to get paid. Found out as soon as I was operating in BLACK I had two silent partners, Feds & State they want TAXES on every penny I made. Add to the about 16.8% For Social Security, it was so much fun.
