About

The Barber's Almanac is a guide and shop for men who like grooming done properly: safety razors and badger-style brushes, rich shave soaps, simple skincare and a signature scent. We feature heritage barbers and modern makers that run partner programmes, with real prices as listed.

Our guide, Barnaby

Barnaby is our illustrated guide character. Tips are general information written by our editors, not personal advice.

Affiliate disclosure

We recommend a small number of tools from brands that run affiliate programmes. If you buy through our links we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we recommend or the price you pay. Prices are shown as listed by the retailer on the date noted.

Not medical advice

Everything here is general information. We summarise published research for interest only. It is not a substitute for advice from your doctor or another qualified health professional, and nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Advertising

We may show ads from Google and other partners in future to keep the site free.
