The Old Street Barber Co. specialise in grooming products for bearded men. This includes beard oils, moustache wax, combs and accessories. They have gained a large following on-line in recent years sharing tips on how to care for your beard properly.

Commenting on the partnership, SOR’s driver; Tom Montgomery-Swan commented

Partnering with The Old Street Barber Co. is an exciting move for SUNUS Ocean Racing. Their quality of products and professionalism add to an ideally suited commercial partner. With a large, international following, our motor sport program will offer unique and adrenaline fuelled content to their customers. Added too that our mission of raising awareness for Stillbirth will reach further afield and a wider audience.

We are extremely excited to be working with Tom and the SUNUS Ocean Racing team. It was an obvious move for us. Our male dominated customers will love the adrenaline fuelled sport and we believe it will provide a unique way to promote our products to new and existing customers alike. We are looking forward to working with SOR and the Cowes Classic Powerboat Race.
