Behold The Whatsis Shaving Soap is a limited edition release from Barrister and Mann available while supplies last.

Children’s authors, people like Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein, and Beatrix Potter, set the tone for our entire lives. The books that we read as children become cornerstones of how we see the world, our beliefs about right and wrong, and of how we treat others. Few could forget the lessons and lines of iconic works like The Lorax, and we pass such lessons on to our own children in an effort to give them the best for their own childhoods.

This year, for what would have been Dr. Seuss’s 118th birthday, Barrister and Mann is thrilled to revive our tribute to these great authors, the Eric Carles and Richard Scarrys, and Maurice Sendak's of the world. Inspired by their stories and their lessons, Behold the Whatsis! is a sprightly, Spring-like blend of grapefruit, rose, and our own version of the smell of childhood memories, a combination of tangerines, and sugar cookies, and dryer-warm blankets. Far from cloyingly sweet, Behold the Whatsis! elegantly and quietly hails back to what it’s like to be very small.

In further celebration of children’s literature, we will also be donating $1 per jar of soap and $2 per bottle of aftershave splash or balm sold to the Children’s Literacy Initiative, a renowned non-profit that works with teachers to advance and improve early literacy in the United States. 

Special thanks to Jennifer Davis and Wendy Guenther, who created their very own tributes to Dr. Seuss’s unique artistic style, and to the good doctor himself. There was no one on Earth who was youer than you.

Directions

Wet your shaving brush well, then swirl it around the jar for roughly thirty seconds or until a rich, creamy lather is formed. Continue building the lather by adding water and swirling your brush either on your face or in a lathering bowl. Shave, rinse, and spend your day feeling great.

    Are you up for it?

    This soap demands you gird up your ***** and acquit yourself as a man. The fragrance is strong, forceful, and full of notes of leather, tobacco, coffee, frozen bearings, intense effort, and Chuck Norris. My first shave with Leviathan left me wondering if I had taken the wrong turn down a darkened alley. By my third shave, I had a better sense of where this fits into my daily drive. While Leviathan may not become my everyday drive (Seville and and Fougere Classique are current pride of place), Leviathan is a good choice for a forceful departure, a strong option when a challenging day awaits. You're probably already shaving with a better choice than a cartridge razor. So be a man. Be Leviathan.

    Great Product; nice scent!

    Easy to build up a nice lather with this product. Has to be the smoothest shave I have had since switching from shaving cartridges to a double edge blade. These same attributes apply to another Barrister and Mann soap that I purchased from your company.

    He who controls the spice controls the universe!

    I just got the B&M Dune-themed 'Melange' shaving soap in the mail last night (P.S. HUGE shoutout to GrownManShave.com for being super responsive and accommodating through a shipping issue due to an error of address on my part. Thank you, Laura!). I was soo excited to get to shave with this soap today as I'm a big Dune fan (the only book I've ever read twice). I was a bit hesitant as I heard it is a very "spice-heavy" soap (for obvious reasons...the spice must flow!), and that's not usually my cup of tea, but man was I wrong! The smell is amazing, definitely stronger than my other B&M soaps, the spice sent filled the bathroom, and I liked it so much that I decided after the shave to neglect my usual B&M Seville aftershave balm because I didn't want to lose that spice sent. It's been about an hour since my shave and I can still smell it on my face - it's terrific! I think I'm going to need to pull the trigger on the Melange balm as well. If you're a Dune fan or just want to know what it would feel like to shave in the warm desert breeze on the sands of Arakis....then this soap is for you! "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear and I will permit it to pass over me and through me."
