Manready Mercantile’s All-American Grooming

First a guy is making candles in small batches on his apartment stove and suddenly a business is born. That’s exactly how the curated goods site,  Manready Mercantile burst onto the scene. Founder Travis Weaver began his experimentation using all-natural ingredients and then went on to develop additional products. Most of the grooming items are actually unisex, but branded specifically for men.
