Brazen Boast: Finally, a barrier that saves those mighty moments from becoming a monstrous, slovenly mess in the haste of morning!
A Sagacious Sonnet: "Finally bought this for my husband and I'm not sure why I waited so long. He would always shave over a towel, ball the towel up to 'clean it up when he got home from work,' forget to tell me, and then I'd see it on the bathroom floor or counter, pick it up to throw it in the washer (unaware of what surprise was inside), and beard hair would go EVERYWHERE. My husband can fully shave and then basically has a full beard again three days later, so this happened more times than I'd like to admit... PEOPLE, DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND BUY THIS NOW!" - Ashley Flaga
