  What are the steps to launch a shaving brand (creams, razor, etc.)?

  Hello, 
  I would like to start a shaving brand for male with skin irritation but was wondering if you could provide me with any advice on how to start? 

  - finding manufacturers? 
  - developing products? 
  - testing the products?
  - finding fundings? etc … 
  - Finding distributors? 

  Thank you

  1. Invent brand name and design logo.
  2. Register brand name and logo.
  3. Wait 6 months or so: <success?>
  Yes: Go to step 4.
  No:  Go to step 1.
  4. Begin market research.
  5. Register Web site URL and build site, also Facebook, Instagram, etc etc pages or apps.
  6. When sufficient market info is confirmed, begin sourcing or product design.
  7. Finish product design.
  8. Begin ‘tease’ campaign.
  9. Launch.

  I’d add a few steps to @Belassi suggestions.

  4b.  Find out what problems consumers have
  4c.  Figure out solutions they use and how you can make one that works better

  5b.  Build an email list
  6b.  Build a bigger email list
  6c.  Figure out your distribution system

  7b.  Build a really big email list

  10. Interact on social media, fill orders, and keep building & marketing to your email list
