I really, really like the Rhode Barrier Butter. It's very nice, it's just cocooning but it's not too thick. I love it.

What the whole panel says

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
