Bump Stopper
History of Bump Stopper
More than 50 years ago in September of 1972, H.R. Phillips, President and CEO of High Time Products, introduced the very first razor bump relief product to the open market.
Prior to this revolutionary discovery, it was believed that the only solutions to resolving the razor bump problem, caused primarily by shaving with any kind of razor, was to either stop shaving altogether or use a depilatory method of shaving. These depilatories often proved to be too harsh or totally intolerable for most men.
With his pharmacy training from the University of Illinois and with additional degrees in chemistry from Roosevelt University (Chicago, IL) and San Diego State University, while working as a nuclear research and developmental chemist for Argonne National Laboratories (Chicago, IL) and General Atomics Corporation (San Diego,CA), Mr. Phillips diligently worked on resolving this problem, a problem that had plagued him since he had started shaving.
After years of research and an unwillingness to accept failure, the first razor bump treatment was formulated – known, at that time, as High Time Ingrown Hair and Razor Bump Treatment. The name of the product was later changed at the insistence of its faithful users because practically everybody that used it simply referred to it as “the Bump Stopper”!
Bump Stopper is a line of product famous for being the men’s choice in their fight against razor bumps and ingrown hairs. What most people don’t know is that is as effective for men as it is for women!
Women everywhere have chosen Bump Stopper Sensitive over the now discontinued Lady Bump Stopper Night-Time.
This election sounds counter-intuitive, doesn’t it? Why would women choose a product formulated for men, ignoring another made with them in mind?
The truth is that Bump Stopper Sensitive Skin was not created with gender in mind. After all, men’s and women’s skin are similar, and so are they razor bumps! It is just that over the years, men had been more vocal about their choice of skin treatment, and Bump Stopper Sensitive Skin, and the Bump Stopper line, got to be known as a men’s line. This misconception was driven further deep by no other than ourselves, the manufacturers, when we decided to create a line specifically for women: Lady bump Stopper. This was a line formulated with the specific goal of, above everything else Bump Stopper does, including a retardant agent that made hair grow slower, reducing the frequency between shaves.
Women welcomed the new line, but their preference for Bump Stopper Sensitive Skin did not diminish.
