You’re listening to Wet Shaving Talk powered by Sharpologist.com where we’re dedicated to preserving the art and skill of classic shaving. I’m your host Joe Borrelli and this is the Fall Seasonal Special 2021.
Fall Seasonal Special 2021
Over 40 hours of research goes into this special edition podcast held every year to give wet shavers a one stop shop for information regarding the most active season. Enjoy!
So…….How many vendors are there do you ask???
- As of this writing I currently have 101 artisans/producers of software in my records .
- We saw 5 major artisans close from 2020-2021
- We saw 4 enter the market
- Yes, I did research each and every one of them.
- This includes ETSY Shops and small vendors that do not have websites.
Did I miss anything?
- I’m sure of it. I try to give each vendor at least 1-2 minutes before I move on to the next one. If I can’t find a seasonal scent in that amount of time, chances are most people couldn’t either.
- Every year I discover new vendors.

You’re listening to Wet Shaving Talk, powered by Sharpologistdotcom, where we’re dedicated, preserving the art and skill of classic shaving. I’m your host, Joe Brain, and this is the Fall Seasonal Special, 2021.
All right, everyone, welcome back to the podcast on this special edition of Wet Shaving Talk. It’s the sixth annual fall seasonal Special. Now what is the fall seasonal Special for all of you, just listening for the first time or for you that have been only listening for a short amount of time? The fall seasonal special is something that I came up with about six years ago just to really just to talk about the fall products that come out by our vendors, artisans and all of the above. Really, it’s the most new releases you see in the wet shaving world. During this time. You see a lot of seasonal products, you see a lot of stuff going on and this really just to me. The fall season alone really kicks off the holiday season because it is the last of the first. You know it’s it’s the last holiday of kind of like the year to where it’s not going to be all like crazy buying and all that stuff.
And this really kicks off the holiday season in my opinion, especially here where I live, because it’s very seasonal area. So it is a very special time. You do see a lot of releases now. Devise us six years ago. We’ve been doing it every year and just really showcasing the fall seasonal products, and what I’ll do is I’ll go over it and just go over it and and talk a little bit about, have notes and and just tell you what’s going on with the vendors. Now there aren’t any any links because honestly I’m not affiliated with any vendors other than sharpologist. I don’t have any affiliation with anybody really in any of the vendors. So in order for us to know for me to do that, it also takes a lot of time, but you know I just want to keep it as neutral as possible, so there are no links actually to link-up so I do apologize for that, but you can easily.
You know. Just google it and you’ll find them too. So the idea is to have a one stop shop for all of the fall seasonal stuff, to where you can see for the most part everything that I can find now some facts about the fall season special. Right what goes into making this actual show? There’s over 40 hours of research just going into this special addition podcast. And really it’s just to give you guys again one stop shop for all the information regarding the most active season in wet shaving.
So how many vendors are there? Do you? As of this writing? I currently have a 100 and one artisans and producers of software in my records. That’s just producers of software. That’s not including razor producers, that’s not including, including excuse me, anybody that’s making brushes or anything like. Well, some of them are making brushes, but really, all all in all, it’s a 100 and one artisans and producers. In 2010, from 2020, excuse me, 21, we saw five major artisans clothes. We saw four enter the market and yes, I did research every single one of them, which includes stops and as well, an Amazon. Did I miss anything? I’m sure of it. I’m sure I miss something every year. I try to give even each vendor at least one to two minutes of time before I move on to the next one. If I can’t find a seasonal sent in that amount of time, well then chances are you won’t the buyer or you, the consumer, will not be able to find it as well. So every year I do discover new vendors and I find a couple that don’t exist anymore. So that does happen. I do oppose us if I miss anything for our vendor. If you are a vendor and I did not mention you, just give me an email, send me an email and I’ll I’ll put you in the database to see if you’re if I don’t have you in there already. All right guys! Well, without further ado, let’s get on with the show. All right were going to start off with barrister and man, barrister and man.
One of the actual first or second vendors to really push the fall season and this year they’re going to come out with only a few of the the usual releases. They have. They do about four or five-year here or there and they change it. Sometimes I’ll put a couple of them off. So I went and put all of them on here just to discuss it. So we have the return of Forger Gothic and Virgie Angelique, which will be coming back. Those are two like the Devil and then the Angel type Sense Gothic has got a cent of soap, Lavender. Excuse me so I should have said so. I mean I’m reading off the actual notes. Apologize. So the cent profile for this soap is Lavender, Oakmoss, Bergamot, Durant, Geranium, Tankobon. I mean you have a musky sandalwood leathery type, like also with the black ashes essences. Well, this is more of like.
Like a damp dark, burned type, like smouldering type sent with the new Omnibus base that just came out with a barrister man. So that’s all the new soaps are coming out with, that he’s using the new basis for that. The angelic, I believe it’s orange Angel, excuse me, is lime lavender. It’s it’s a similar century. It’s more of a like a lighter sent to represent the angels. So you got the evil and you got the good that’s got lime and lavender. It also has a little bit of that smouldering flame sent as well with some sandals, very similar but a little bit lighter, and that’s in the new omnibus base as well. You have Levithan, which is returning again, which is sandalwood, coffee and russian leather essence again that’s been around for several years. We didn’t see Cluster Fig come back. Closer figure is another one which might come back for the for the fall season or really for the winter season, for the holidays. That’s got a lemon fig, Apple, Violet and Jasmine, Sence and Lisa was something that came out in 2019. I like this because it came with like an anal box. It was a survival kit for against zombies and this is actually a sop to to get rid of zombies to make sure if zombies don’t get you. So there’s a little bit of weird stuff going on. That one’s got a lot of like some of the ashes, the oakmoss that type smell, but it also has a lot of light flowers, I guess for a funeral, those taken from deceased persons. That’s how they used to be and I thought this was pretty cool. So actually purchased this one. I haven’t seen it return yet but it’s going to.
I’m sure it will be back in a year or two and of course Hallows by Barrister Man is a big one. Last year it came out, comes out every two years and really it’s just it’s an inspiration from the swamps of the Boston area. We have a lot of that that you know that dirt, that Oakmoss, that really. Keep. Really deep cold scent. It really just smells like smells like if you were walking. I honestly be completely honest. I was walking in a swamp and probably north. It’s got like that northern field to it that scent of like a spring or fall day. It is taking the year off of 2021, but we’ll see it. I’m sure we’ll see it again. This was one of the hopes that one was very popular when they did a cent off here. Charolois Hollows was originally one of the ones that was placed very well in that contest. That was several years ago when it first came out and I think it was only a limited amount, whether like thunder, and 15 bucks were made in the first year. But it’s been around for about five or six years now and Hallows is definitely one of the one of the most popular Halloween cents. Yeah, Phoenix artists and accoutrements are returning with atomic Pumpkin. This is not your everyday pumpkin pie offering. This has got a lot going on with it. It’s got more of allspice, it’s got cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and this is very festive. It’s it’s more on the masculine side. You have clown fruit returning again, which is more of like wormwood, hungarian oak, elderflower absent. So this is honestly it’s got a lot going on and it’s it’s weird scent. But it’s pretty cool and you could definitely get that wormwood that absent. If you ever had absent the liquor the cordial, you’ll definitely notice the essence and that I believe he also ages the aftershave in oak barrels as well.
Blue Sanguine. You have that’s more of a fall festival type. So it’s got some sandalwood, burnt sugar, burban and pumpkin in that this is oak, barrel aged and it’s back for I guess seven years now. This is. I think it’s six. Seventh year. It’s coming back cider house, which is also another. It’s got a little bit of smoke, old cider, oakwood, dry leaves. It’s a very innocent type of apple cider scent, really cool, Harvest Moon from Phoenix again acute as well. You have again tobacco. You have smoke. Spanish moss. White sage is another one. Just to just to really kick-off the fall season. You have grove which is oakwood, cranberry current and a little bit of moss with a with a taste of kiss of apricot. It’s a real crisp bruise sent for the fall season and which is a tobacco based, sent again with that burned sugar black pepper. So again another vendor that does very well: Phoenix Phoenix Artisans, Acriter, Ments, guys returning again. They have four pages of seasonal products on their website. Thank you, four, also making it very easy to find them. Really I mean the team over at Phoenix. They take that they take this seriously, they take fall seriously. So check them out if you haven’t really interested in seeing water on, to come up with always something new from them as well. Oh, I almost forgot Montrose, which is a soap that came out, I believe, last year, which is it’s got the Frankenstein on the label, it’s more a blood orange and it’s more of Hasan ever, and it glows in the dark as well, which also clown fruit does glow in the dark. So I mean that’s another really awesome.
Southern Witchcraft, another one with some big releases that they also offer most of the year. They have autumn ash, which is going to be available in soap and and aftershave, and this is just a spicy, dirty, smoky, sweet and captures the the scent of damp autumn air. Some of the notes are maple, spice, smoke, amber rain, blackberry, pumpkin, coffee, dirt mill, do okay, so this just tells you. This just says: all right, this is a false hope and I believe it’s available all year round as well. Some one is also available from them as well. You have the soap and after shave and this is really just a good kick-off of the fall. You have pumpkin, burban, tobacco, sandalwood, some nutmeg in there, some little incense, vineland, hazelnut, and charred wood musk. Is this another one actually purchased this one myself? I love these tents and I just love this like the whole festival idea: Fall Festival. You know, living in Florida it’s tough because we don’t really get seasons and our fall is 70 degrees or 65 degrees, which we’ll be seeing hopefully this weekend and just talking about it’s just interesting. I hope most of you up north are really enjoying the fall season already. You have Tres Matres, which is also another soap and aftershave. It’s a. It’s a tribute with a floral, like oak, mossy, damp earth scent again. This is another one just to kick-off the fall season also has a taste of lot of lavender and almond as well as southern witchcrafts. Guys, I think their whole thing is about all. I think they’re one of those artisans is just really focus on following around. So keeping up with them is pretty cool. Great stuff again. Also some offerings this year
Uncle John’s returning with drunken Pumpkin, which is a pumpkin spice scent with boozy notes and rich smokiness, and also coming back with pumpkin spice. Pumpkin spice is part of the fall season and my house is Uncle John’s pumpkin spice. I’ve been using it for years. It’s some pumpkin clove, venella, allspice, remind it, will remind you of the coffee shops in the fall. If you’re a pumpkin spice fiend like I am and fanatic, this one’s for you. Later brothers, returning again with Loan Bar, which is inspired by I’ve really a long time: love for polar bears, a fresh, cold scent which is blended with Rosemary Frankincense. Few other senses will really just just just to really commemorate the polar bear offered in the fall and winter only.
So that’s at Later Brothers and another big one stirling coming back for I think I don’t know eight now they’ve been doing this for a long time with their fall offerings. They have hot apple sider soap and after shave this is just apple cinnamon and clove and this just makes it easy, makes and it’s just a drink that you start. When the weather turns cold and the trees turn, trees start turning brown right. So this is another one: hot apple cider. Great! Honestly, that’s great drink. I love it during the fall. So great to see a soap that’s commemorating that autumn glory, which is more honestly, this has always been a difficult one to put into words. Just imagine walking through the damp woods in a fall morning with leaves and stuff. So it’s got a little bit of a leafy sent to it, damp earth and a little. I think there’s a little scent of some sweetness to it. Interesting I’ve had I’ve actually used the soap before. It’s very interesting. So petty cool autumn glory and of course pumpkin spice, one of the better pumpkin spices I’ve had for shaved soap. It’s definitely staple in the in the den. For me you got a little bit of well, a little bit of everything you love about pumpkin spice is rich buttery. It’s really nice, spicy and definitely they took away some of that maple syrup scent that they had a few years ago. But it’s just this is a reference. This probably one of the better, if not the best pumpkin spice, soaps and aftershaves I’ve seen out there. So if you love pumpkin spice, this is one of the ones I would definitely recommend.
Katy’s bubbles returning with a midnight dreary soap and aftershave. This is inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, with sense of really with notes of orchard, lotus spices, black currant, troupe, Jasmin, Acute and sandalwood with little amber and vinella in there. This is a nice, really, just honestly, it’s a dark and mysterious blend in what it says on a label, and that’s what I think it is what the face is returning with autumn, soap and aftershave. Autumn is one of the most favoured times of the year. Colors are truly amazing and just bringing the notes of vinella been applesiders, cinnamon, spice, spun sugar to bring back those, bring forth those cosy autumn memories. That’s what’s on the the actual tasting notes here, or excuse me tasting those, the cent notes, a blood orange, soap and soap, aftershave available too, like blood orange, created with all of real natural essential oil of blood orange. And you have top notes of bergamot, grapefruit, orange and a little bit of tree leaves as well.
Shave works has staggering Jack, which is soap and aftershave available, and this is a collaboration with a small craft brewing small, excuse me, small craft brewer, beer, brewery, and it’s made really with their pumpkin bear. So it’s a nice little pumpkin with little musky essence to it as well

Doctor Johns is, is a very interesting vendor or artisan guys. Not much seen about them. They don’t really go online. You don’t see too much about the about the company itself. Excuse me, I’m drinking a little coffee as I’m doing this. It’s about four here in Florida. Today, Doctor John’s keys come out with a couple of really awesome releases, a Blot booth came out a few years ago and I was really into that one. That came out with a nice gift set and everything.

It was awsome, unfortunately not available this year, but they did have a couple of releases as well. Blood Oath is returning again soon after Shave and that’s just going from.

That would I don’t know if wet church bench comes into into this. It’s tough to describe the scent, but it just smells like a musky old seventies movie, horror movie scent. That’s all I could say, and then flowers in the dark, which is ascent of lavender with an undertone of something that, like another again like woods.
I don’t know why I say it smells like church type thing, so it’s probably those essential, those essence incense that they burn in church right with, resembling some coffinwood essence to this as well. This is disturbingly pleasant conversation combination. Excuse me, so it’s got like it smells like a funeral home. Tha’s wha they’re trying to do with a wooden coffin and flowers in there as well. So, Doctor John, you have some great ideas. If you, if you’re listening to this and the way they come up with some of these senses, I mean it takes a lot of thought and I think I got to give you, you know, the award for the most original, because some of these, like I mean coffinwood, to get that into.

This is available all year round, but it’s really I like it. I think it’s definitely because of the ghost town aspect and ghost towns are kind of scary, I guess, for hollowing.
