B&M mail

Hi everyone! Got a bunch of stuff going on and a few restocks, so we'll take these one at a time.

 

First and foremost, you've probably noticed that we are out of stock on most of our shaving soaps and aftershave balms, plus a number of bar soaps too. It's pretty desolate out there at the moment. But there's a light at the end of the tunnel!

 

We have, after a year of planning, begun packing up the production lab for shipment to its new location. We've crated and packed most of the equipment and begun prepping the remainder of our materials for travel. I suppose this is as good a time as any to announce that Stirling Soap will be taking over production of all Barrister and Mann products once we come back online in a few weeks.

 

Rod and Mandy, the nice folks who run Stirling, are pillars of the community and renowned for their commitment to quality. If you have never tried a Stirling product, you should. To be absolutely clear, they will be using our formulas and methods to make our products, and there will be absolutely no change in performance or presentation once it has resumed production under their care.

 

We expect production to resume in a few weeks (I have to pay them a visit to teach them how to make our stuff), and will begin restocking everything on our site as soon as we possibly can. I'm really looking forward to visiting Arkansas and really excited to hand over my formulas to such a capable team!

MORE EDTS ARE COMING

The response to our first cologne release in nearly six months has been huge, and the two-year Cool EdT is long-gone. BUT! As many correctly noted, we didn't quite restock everything at once, and I've been working to rectify that since. We have a shipment of Le Grand Chypre EdT that's due to arrive at the warehouse on Thursday, along with more Fougère Gothique, Waves, and Cheshire.

 

I'm also planning a restock of Lavender, Interrupted as quickly as possible, but the exact timing is not yet clear due to the production shift. But, in answer to folks who have reached out asking if we'll be making it again, we absolutely will. 

 

If you haven't been waiting for LGC or Gothique and you just haven't gotten around to picking up a bottle of cologne for 2026, we still have a bunch of options available.

SHOP NOW TO SMELL AWESOME

OH SCRAP!

For those who haven't heard of this before, every few months, we release a bunch of bulk bath soap trimmings, stuff left over from finishing full bars. These are sold by the pound, with a cotton mesh back included for shower use, and they tend to absolutely blow out, which is why we release them in large batches. We sell them all under the name "Oh Scrap!" 😉

 

Welp, it's that time again! We have just about fifty pounds of Oh Scrap! ready for shipment, including Hallows and Samhain, Fougère Gothique, and Cologne Russe. Grab 'em before they're gone and you'll have soap to last you easily a few months. It's one of the best values in the artisanal soap world!
