The selection

Four takes on barbershop

The Corner Chairs brings together four artisans whose soaps and splashes each offer a distinct take on the barbershop tradition. Spend time with each, compare their scents, note their performance, and find the chair that suits you best.

Inside Expedition No. 001

Four 1 oz artisan shave soaps

Two ½ oz matching aftershaves

Each soap comes as a full 1 oz portion in a 2 oz wide-mouth tin, giving you the flexibility to load your brush from the tin or use it another way. Complete the ritual with two matching aftershaves in BarrBarr and Homestead Barbershop.

Your Expedition also includes four Map Charts for recording your observations and one Expedition card.

Made to explore, ready for travel, and thoughtfully packaged with recyclable and reusable materials.

Packing & Shipping

Each soap and aftershave is portioned and packed by Shave Compass with permission from the participating artisans.

Aftershaves contain alcohol. Expeditions ship within the United States via USPS Ground Advantage.
