Crafting the Future of Everyday Tools
Maxwell June was founded in 2019 by Robert Glenn, founder of Rute Design, a Chicago-based product design and engineering company.
Rob set out to harness the ubiquitous nature, low cost and superior performance of a Double-Edge safety razor blade with the convenience and comfort of a disposable cartridge. The Twin Blade is the result of 1000+ hours of design and engineering and more than a hundred 3D printed prototypes, all of which Rob used to shave every day in order to test, adjust, and perfect.
After reaching the limit of Rute Design’s 3D printing capabilities, Rob started up a machine shop with his twin brother Rich, an expert production machinist, in their hometown of Rockford, IL. Today, we sell Twin Blade Razors all over the world from our Illinois-based manufacturing facilities. By manufacturing locally, we shorten supply chains, reduce waste, and deliver sustainable solutions that meet the needs of a changing world.
