Barrister and Mann

Barrister_N_Mann , Hi Will, I had an idea the other morning while shaving (great time for ideas) for a new product line - have you considered releasing your new aftershave splash in an unscented version?  This could target two distinct groups, first those who are sensitive to scent but still want a great post shave product and secondly, those who may want to experiment with adding their own scents but still want to use a first class post shave product.  It would be a great compliment to your unscented soap for the sensitive crowd.  What do you think?
Thanks,
Mark

As a matter of fact, Marko, we have. Once the fully fragranced line is complete (which is our primary concern right now), we'll look into creating an unscented version. I know there are quite a few people who've been looking for an unscented splash from any maker, so this seems like a perfect opportunity.

Will you be offering it with menthol? Or any splashes with menthol for that matter. I think I saw you mention one here.

Le Petit Chypre is mentholated. And just the perfect amount of menthol.

And Arctique is a heavily mentholated tonique that will be back this summer.

And Adagio will be returning this summer with a matching mentholated tonique.

Got in my LPC and Rhapsody soaps along with two Kyovu samples. Also got a generous sample of Night Music from a fellow member here. So it was a B&M day yesterday.

Thanks. I have LPC and love it. I was referring to the unscented and permanent line aftershaves coming out such as Barrister's Reserve, but should have clarified.

We WILL offer a splash with menthol (to be sold as "Cool"), but no, the unscented will mostly likely be without both scent and menthol.

There are a few unscented mentholated aftershaves on the market, Chiseled Face Cryogen and Fine Snake Bite to name a couple. They don't have the conditioning face feel you get from barrister's reserve but if you're a menthol head those provide a blast.

Will, I used the new Rhapsody today and it was wonderful (rhapsodic? rapturous?). I really want to thank you for your skill and passion which you so clearly put into your products. I consider myself fortunate to be able to shave with Barrister & Mann soap.
Thank you.

I use Stirling unscented with menthol balm after B&M tonic. I will buy B&M unscented and just add some crystals to it myself. I love a nice menthol kick, but not face freeze levels like Cryogen.

I'm very glad to hear that you like it, Mark. Thanks for your kind words.

If you don't mind I will go on a bit (I've had a good night's sleep and a cup of coffee) - I can't recall how I stumbled on to Barrister & Mann a few years ago but it was fairly early in my wet shaving adventure. I found the B&M soaps and Kyovus to be of excellent quality and the very diverse and creative scent profiles intoxicating. Prices were reasonable and customer service top notch. There were other very good soaps on the market that I had used, some of which compared reasonably well with B&M, however, most of those soaps are the same today as they were several years ago while B&M has continued to evolve, innovate and improve on an already excellent product. Those other soaps that have improved on their products, IMO have improved only marginally while B&M's G base has been a game changer. B&M soaps have become even more excellent, prices have remained reasonable and customer service is still excellent notwithstanding an increase in popularity of the products. The challenges of dealing with success are often greater than those of dealing with failure and B&M has handled its success very well. The way you continue to innovate and experiment is inspiring. Taking chances like inviting customer feedback on new products in beta phase such as the Barrister's Reserve development process is just such a smart way to go about product development that I'm surprised more people don't do it. Wet shavers can be a finicky, opinionated group when it comes to our shaving products so why not test the waters before investing a bunch of money in a new product?

Will, I could go on but I think I've made my point. When I look at what you've done to this point I can't help but smile at the thought of where you're going next. Keep on innovating and being awesome.

Thank you very much, Mark! We work very hard to do the best we can on all fronts, so I'm glad you (and others) enjoy the fruits of our efforts.
