Vendor

Unfortunately another vendor is leaving us today, this time it's Badger Shaving Co. hailing from Vancouver, Canada. The owner, Travis McDonald released the statement (seen below) in the Facebook group Canadian Wet Shavers. Until it's all gone - enjoy 30% off of everything using the code "FAREWELL" at checkout. No #drama - just sadness.

On Monday, October 24, 2016 - L&L Grooming is releasing their fall seasonal scent called Darkfall in a #soap and #aftershave! The notes are agarwood, amber, treemoss, benzoin, birch tar, cinnamon and clove. The soap will be in their celebrated bison tallow base.

As you can see from the map above, the east coast of America as well as a good chunk of the west... Has been affected by a huge DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack on Dyn which provides DNS (Domain Name Service) for hundreds and hundreds of sites. This affects sites such as Shopify and Etsy, which a lot of shaving artisans and vendors (such as B&M, PAA and K Shave Worx to name a tiny few - full list below) rely on to host their eCommerce sites. Likewise, you can't pay for anything using PayPal for the same reason. Some Friday #drama for y'all. It started at 7am EST and was thought resolved, but is clearly ongoing. Check out downdetector.com to see just how bad it is.

Another day, another #drama in the shaving community, it seems. Though troubles with shaving vendor Italian Barber do go back a ways (see below), in the past couple of days - concerns of removing negative reviews from its website (here and here) as well as "coming under fire" for questionable advertising on a razor (here and here) has left people scratching their heads.
