Mark Cuban Called Them ‘Dan Janssen Razors’ Here’s Why That Matters

When Mark Cuban referred to our work as “Dan Janssen Razors” during a recent appearance on How I Built This, it caught our attention—and it caught the attention of listeners searching for something rare: a razor with a maker behind it.

So let’s clarify, properly.

Imperium Shaving is the name of the atelier.
Dan Janssen Razors is how some people refer to the work itself.

And in the world of craftsmanship, that distinction matters.

A Maker’s Name Becomes the Object

Historically, the highest-end tools—whether watches, pens, or blades—are often identified by their maker. When someone says “a Janssen razor,” they’re not naming a company. They’re identifying a hand, a standard, and a philosophy.

Every Imperium razor is designed, turned, finished, and inspected under Dan Janssen’s direct supervision. The materials are deliberate. The tolerances are obsessive. The finishes are built for decades, not seasons.

That level of authorship is why people instinctively attach a name.

The House, Not the Hype

Imperium Shaving is not a personality brand, a licensing play, or a volume operation. It is a small, founder-led workshop producing heirloom-grade shaving instruments—often in wood and stone, built to outlast trends and disposables.

Names may vary in conversation.
The standard does not.
