Our story
About Luther Lather
Luther Lather Shaving Creamery is a micro-batch purveyor of Fine Luxe Shave Cream. The company is fiercely dedicated to bringing back the swagger of well groomed gentlemen by way of the proper wet shave.
Luther Lather pays homage to the generations that came long before us. Saluting the days when things took a little more time & effort to do a job well done. Inspired by past era legends and Grandfathers whom took time to elevate this daily ritual.
Based on merit, we hope that our shave cream is passed down to other generations of you.
Founded in 2011 Luther Lather initially made batches for friends as gifts. The Creamery incorporated later in 2016 via Luther Lather Shaving Creamery. The company adopted the name, from its early days when fellow hockey teammates who’s cultured slang, coined the nickname when describing in stories to other peers what exactly founder Olin Penna did.
The Creamery is based in Charlottetown Prince Edward Island which is known to be Canada’s own rendition of Nantucket.
It first opened its kiosk on the wooden boardwalks of Charlottetown selling to cruise ship passengers as they ventured into town to explore. As the business grew the kiosk + portable storefront started travelling off island to regional gift expos and artisan markets where product would nearly be sold out at weekends close.
The kiosk setup is well recognized as it's traveling caravan includes vast lobster traps, glass checkout booth, row boat and an ole wooden barber pole.
Environmental impact
In a retail era of disposable consumables its so vital to rethink the way we use, purchase and feel about items we use on a daily basis. After much reflection we wanted to recreate Luther Lather to better ourselves, the environment and to better the lives of our customers, friends & community. We truly yearn to produce and share a meaningful product.
