The Old World Importing Inc. story began on an Italian holiday in 2009. Joseph's father-in-law, who is a retired Italian Barber, asked Joseph to find and bring back some alum stones. Alum stones at the time were very difficult to find locally in North America and his father-in-law couldn't shave without one! Joseph enlisted his uncle Michael on the hunt and Michael finally found a bunch of alum stones in a small shop in Lucca, Tuscany. Michael and Joseph were both curious about these salty looking stones so they gave them a try. They wet them and rubbed them on their faces after a shave and guess what? They worked! The stones sealed minor nicks, toned the skin and helped to knock out any post shave irritation…an idea and a business were instantly born!
