Overview

Kabuto Katana is an Austrian men's grooming brand owned by Avida Cosmetics e.U., based in Pichl bei Wels. The brand was founded on the conviction that modern men's grooming can be more than an arbitrary supermarket product. Inspired by the heritage of Japanese warriors — the samurai — it combines centuries-old values such as discipline, honour and precision with modern cosmetic development. The name stands for the two most important symbols of a samurai: the kabuto, the protective helmet, and the katana, his legendary sword. The brand's philosophy is that every man deserves a grooming ritual that strengthens him not only outwardly but also inwardly. Grooming is seen not as a side issue but as a conscious moment of self-respect. Products are intended to help define one's own style and go into the day with self-confidence. Quality, effectiveness and character are at the forefront of every single article. Kabuto Katana is a brand of the Austrian Avida Cosmetics e.U. (Pichl bei Wels).
