I can't remember who I was talking to about this, but the topic of frag burn with barbershop scents came up. Stirling Barbershop burned the crap out of me back in the day, and I'm not brave enough to see if it still does.

Ghost Town Barber doesn't burn me at all, and I couldn't remember if London Barbershop (made from that famous pre-mix) burned me or not. It turns out it doesn't, sort of. I could tell my skin wasn't 100% happy with what was going on, but it was totally fine.

Also, a lot of people think the London Barbershop and Ghost Town Barber smell the same, but they're different. Yes, they are similar, but no, they aren't the same. Ron has always said they're different, and now I believe him.
