Barrister and Mann

Somehow.....Will has got to solicit J.K. Rowling to allow him to develop a soap called "Deathly Hallows"......with appropriate artwork, of course.

That's actually where the name comes from.

Great minds Will!.....great minds......

could of used some of the barrister reserve last night...got a few weepers from my shave. first time nicking myself in months!

Hallows is a great name. The packaging kind of freaks me out, but it didn't stop me from ordering it. My favorite soap is Rhapsody, so I'm going out of my comfort zone here. Speaking of Rhapsody, is there any chance that it returns next year?

Yep, it'll be back in the Spring, along with Petrichor.

A note on the packaging: We're fully aware that the packaging is unsettling (seriously; you should have seen the designs we rejected). But the thinking went that it represented pushing the envelope in ways beyond fragrance, and I would have strongly regretted foregoing it. A dark and unsettling label for a dark and unsettling soap.

Just a cool splash of color. But that IS a real x-ray of an unfortunate man who died after having six nails go through his skull.

Knowing some of the facts behind the image is definitely unsettling and even haunting. There will be no singing of silly tunes when Hallows is out on the counter…

(Itâ€s difficult to even imagine what you rejected in order to settle on this labeling.)

Allow me to demonstrate. But yes, the history of the image is rather unnerving.

Oh wow … that one would have been trendsetting in an entirely new way!

Kid A: “Whatâ€s that?”
Kid B: “My dadâ€s shaving soap.”
Kid A: “Mommyyy…!”

We would have gotten a lot of crap about that one.

There definitely would have been the potential for a proverbial poopstorm… Even the possibility of headlines outside of the realm of wet shaving.

I would definitely get some funny looks if I wore that image on a t-shirt haha
