BAXTER OF CALIFORNIA are a niche men's grooming brand that have been around since 1965. While they have a faithful - but small - following, they thought it was time that Baxter of California gained a little notoriety.
While Baxter of California give you all the tools you need to 'groom like a gentleman' for most young men, their first shave is a clumsy and awkard experience. We decided to capture this landmark moment during adolescence in all it's awkward glory.
