BARBERTIME is the working barbershop staple: the tubs, tubes and five-litre cologne bottles that live behind the chair in a busy shop. At Viva Cosmetics the collection runs to thirty products across hair styling, after-shave colognes, shaving gels, shampoos and basic skin care. One thing worth saying plainly, because the brand is often assumed to carry them: there are no beard oils or serums in this range. Beard care here means a two-phase keratin conditioner.
BARBERTIME hair styling: waxes, pomades and gels
Styling is the biggest part of the collection. Fibre pomades lead it, with the Spider Pomade Keratin and the Spider Fiber Pomade in 150 ml, joined by a matte pomade wax, the Matte Hair Wax Windward, a plain pomade wax, brillantine, a natural-look cream gel and a pump-action foam wax. The Hold & Shine series comes in three characters, Ocean, Bullion and Volcano, so hold and finish run all the way from matte and pliable to high shine.
Gels are stocked in 300 ml strong-hold tubs in four types, plus a black colouring gel. Beyond that there is a 20 g styling powder wax for root lift and volume, a 21 g keratin hair-building fibre, four colouring waxes in purple, gold, pink and silver, and a 400 ml hairspray in three strengths. Compare it all against the wider hair styling range.
After-shave colognes
The colognes are the brand's signature. Spray colognes come in 150 ml and 400 ml across seven variants plus lemon, cream colognes in 150 ml with three variants and in 400 ml, and salon-size 5000 ml refills, including Gold One and an 80% alcohol Lemon for shops that go through it fast. Start with the 150 ml spray cologne, or see every option in after-shave colognes.
Shaving and shampoo
Two 1000 ml shaving gels with pumps, Gold and Sea God, give a controlled, visible shave line. Shampoos come as a paraben-free Pro Hair Men 1000 ml and a 5000 ml salon refill, sized for shops that wash all day.
Skin, beard and body
A 300 ml exfoliating face and body scrub, in avocado and honey, and a 450 g deep-cleansing clay mask for face and scalp cover the skin side. The 400 ml Keratin Complex two-phase conditioner is the one product aimed at hair and beard together, softening and conditioning coarse facial hair. A 500 g hard removal wax in three variants covers depilation.
Barbershop basics
The BARBERTIME barber towel is stocked in black, white and grey. It is the only accessory in the collection, and it does what it needs to.
