Anodized in jet black with a clear-coated, scalloped top cap, the Barrister and Mann logo engraved on the back, and the original Hallows skull burned into the pommel, these beautiful razors are milled from solid aluminum at Proof's workshop in Montana, right here in the USA. They'll be available as part of the pre-release, which opens this Saturday, August 23rd, and we'll even have some extras come October for those who missed out or who love their new razor so much that they want a second.   “Barrister and Mann is proud to present the 2025 Horror Double Feature, featuring Hallows, and, for the first time, Southern Witchcrafts' Samhain (pronounced "sah-wen"), which will be offered in our vegan base. A richly gothic scent inspired by an ancient Gaelic festival, Samhain features notes of bourbon, tobacco, pumpkin, sandalwood, nutmeg, oud, incense, amber, vanilla, hazelnut, charred wood, and musk. It's gloriously appropriate for the season and the perfect compliment to the dry, fen-inspired cocoa/moss of Hallows.” ____________________________________________________________________________ Wet The Face: White Lotus Release  From the very first lather, you’re welcomed by the refreshing calm of aloe vera and the bright, invigorating spark of crisp ginger. As the scent unfolds, the heart reveals a serene harmony of delicate white tea, transporting you to a place where time slows and the world's noise fades away. The journey deepens with creamy cedarwood and warm vanilla, wrapping around you like a soft embrace. Beneath it all lies the gentle floral elegance of lily, a soothing base that linger   ____________________________________________________________________________ Tariff Talk: Updates  Some tariff updates that may affect wet shaving supplies from overseas.
