I didn't get one either. They may not be able to ship those to Texas.  ?
Mine had a button and candy corn included here in Austin - made it through customs Smile

My order was for 2 soaps, 2 toniques, and 2 shirts (2015 and 2016). I got all that and the candy corn. Just no button. My question was mainly out of curiosity as to what dictated a button inclusion and what didn't.

I got a 2016 shirt and the soap. Came with two bags of candy corn.

My 8 year old was thrilled, and quickly proceeded to swipe one of the bags of candy. Big Grin Tried to steal the shirt so she could sleep in it. I shot that idea down real fast. Pretty sure she's already got plans for that other bag of candy...

Loving the packaging, and the add-ins. I'm looking forward to the first shave with the soap.

FWIW, my last few orders didn't have a button, but a few orders ago, I went to throw out the packaging and heard a 'tink' in the garbage bin. Looked and there was a button. So, it's easy to miss with the packing. I have a feeling it's a random thing.

I agree with 120:

Quote:If you have 2015 Hallows, the only reason to buy 2016:

You want the Glissant base.
You want the new label/packaging.
You want to stock up.

Shaved with it yesterday: The performance is what I've come to expect with the glissants-exceptional-and the scent is complex. If you think 'Halloween' and think Will was going to do pumpkin spice and cloves, think again. This is complex.
All the best,

We ran out, gents. We'll be ordering some other sort of goodie once the Hallows launch has ended. Smile

Add Happy birthday Will!

Nothing beyond what one would expect from the natural transformation of a year-old, used soap.  To my nose, the labdanum seems to intensify a bit as Hallows ages.  In reality, it may be simply that the vetiver and cedar fade a bit.  I'm speaking only to the lathered soap.  Casual users won't likely notice this.

If you have 2015 Hallows, the only reason to buy 2016:

  • You want the Glissant base.
  • You want the new label/packaging.
  • You want to stock up.

All of which are good reasons, in my opinion.

You missed the top reason!!

ITS BARRISTER AND MANN HALLOWS!

That said, I will use up the ring around the bottom of my 2014 Hallows that I've been preciousss-ly rationingBig Grin Where is the Gollum emoji when you need it?

No, all pre-orders have now been shipped. Did you place an order and not receive it?
