Chasing the Carrot

Trying to achieve a comfortable shave has many consumers spending countless dollars on more and more blades, new and improved lathers, and a host of other personal care products. So many promises yet so little delivery. A comfortable shave is like the proverbial carrot in front of the cart and marketing gimmicks often leave us feeling like the proverbial beast towing that cart. Who would have thought carrot oil itself was part of the solution?

Baume.be is a remarkable line developed by Karl Indigne who suffers from seborrhoeic dermatitis. Karl’s struggle to find shaving products that were truly suitable to those with the most sensitive skin lead him on the path to create a line of shaving products that are as unique as they are competent. The subtle scent and unique combination of the natural ingredients ensures a calming effect against razor burn.

Karl created his aftershave balm first. A global demand was almost immediate. Building on his success with the balm he used a collaborative approach to achieve production of a superior shaving cream. Mission accomplished! Many fans were more enthusiastic about the cream than the balm. There’s little doubt the quality of the aftershave balm set the stage for high expectations for the coming shaving cream, and the cream delivered.

Karl finally created a superior pre-shave product in gel format. Once again Karl successfully introduced a calming and nourishing product that made shaving pleasant. Continuing to build on his successes he applied himself to become the second shaving soap supplier in Belgium. Now the Baume.be line is complete.

You don’t need to have any particular form of dermatitis to appreciate Karl’s work. You just need to have some stubble and a desire for a comfortable shave. Drop in at Fate Salon or visit our online store to check out Baume.be today
