Comparison Review: Rhapsody vs Neon Sun

In this post I compare Barrister and Mann’s Rhapsody with Noble Otter’s Neon Sun. Both of these are 80s-inspired scents with somewhat similar scent ingredients. Which one is for you?

Dr Jon’s Blood Oath

For Fall of 2022, I review a near-gourmand scented soap made by vegan soapmaker Dr Jon's Soapmaking Company. How does it compare to other fall shaving scents?

Southern Witchcraft’s Carpathia

This is one of my favorite scents in all of wetshaving. It is exceptionally unique and a perfect match for cold weather.


Assorted Razors.jpeg

I used to be a prominent reviewer of wetshaving products on Reddit (u/velocipedic). I’ve since decided to move fully off of the platform and strike out on my own, to give readers a higher quality of wetshaving journalism, from a fellow wetshaver. I despise influencers and the dearth of transparency found commonly on social media sites. My promise to you is that I will never accept money or any sort of compensation from an artisan to review a product or discuss a topic. The opinions herein are my own and only my own.
