Wet Shaving Database

During the development of our Excelsior soap base, we submitted to our testers a softer, creamier version of the product that came to be known by its development code, “PP-8.” Known for its slick, protective lather and soft, nourished post-shave feel, PP-8 has been referred to in hushed tones by our testers ever since, spoken of as a sort of “one that got away.” We discarded the formulation during development in an effort to create a product that would last longer and provide better value for our customers, but have continued to receive requests for more than a year that we release some of the soap to the public. Thus was the inspiration for the Soft Heart Series, so named because of the softer, easier-lathering consistency of the PP-8 soap base. Barrister and Mann is proud to present a reissue of one of our very first seasonal scents: Ferox. Angular and explosively green, with notes of grapefruit, tea tree, rosemary, vetiver, dalmatian sage, and white thyme, Ferox is symbolic of the rampant, overwhelming growth of elemental forests and of the lush verdigris of ancient lands. Winter is coming, but we offer this as our last hurrah.
