Okay, long read as the last days drama about Barbarossa selling skin-peeling xanax bars have prompted me to do some investigative work. I was one of the guys burned by Bobafet's shitty PX1 bars.
I have some high speculations that BarbarossaDNM might be the new name of Bobalax, which is Relaxing and Bobafet blending into one single vendor.
Some background info:
Relaxing (reddit unknown?) was a succesful DNM vendor with little to no reddit activity. He was being considered as a potential new xanax MVP until a few weeks ago.
Bobafet (/u/_Bobafet) was mainly a drop-shipper with plugs in china for alprazolam powder. Very active on reddit.
Both of them, at some point around 45 days ago, have decided to merge together and become "Bobalax". I can only assume Bobafet supplied machinery and xanax powder to Relaxing who was then pressing the pills. Bobafet seemingly handled all customer support and the supply of alprazolam powder for Relaxing's manufacturing lab.
Official Announcement by /u/_Bobafet: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBarbarians/comments/3of66h/bobafet_relaxing_merger_official/
The alliance didn't go as expected, with Relaxing's bars crumbling to dust and the "alprazolam" powder from bobafet tested to be PX1, a deadly synthetic cannabinoid with dangerous anxiety-causing effects.

Abraxas feedback of Bobafet: http://anony.ws/image/JkiF
After he was exposed, Bobafet stopped posting and relaxing suddenly closed shop. Bobafet's last post was 30 days ago.

Then, out of nowhere, a new vendor pops: BarbarossaDNM
The first recorded reddit activity for the Barbarossa account occured 18 days ago, his first post being the usual sample listing bar vendors offer when they first appear in order to get visibility to help quickstart their business.

Now this is one strange coincidence. What more? It seems according to a few buyers that BarbarossaDNM ships from the same geogrraphic location as Relaxing used to! It was already alleged by then that they were one and the same vendor. We just weren't really sure if Bobafet was still involved.

We can now assume Barbarossa is very likely to be the new name of the Bobafet/Relaxing alliance, or "Bobalax".
Similarly to Bobafet, Barbarossa isn't 100% sure of the purity of his own product, he has closed shop 3 days ago, after he received some bunk reports and was forced to reship a lot of orders. This is just before the user complains about wierd effects start.

And now we have feedbacks of xanax bars (allegedly by BarbarossaDNM) causing wierd itching effects.

additionally, a metric fuckton of barbarians are whining about Barbarossa's product. Most complains are about his bars producing wierd effects.

Mods over at /r/thebarbarians have started a crowdfunding campaign to get Barbarossa's bars tested.

One user even said he will do a whole independant test from his own pocket:

Since then, it seems Barbarossa has stopped answering his messages.

This is why I believe it is very likely that Bobafet/Relaxing's new name is actually BarbarossaDNM and I would be very cautious about ordering from this vendor considering past issues with bobafet's powder being dangerous and deadly chemicals.
As I said, this is speculation. Feel free to make your own opinion out of this.
Quantik Shills hard at work. Barbarossa had an underdosed batch, but the flesh eating thing was idiotic and anyone who actually believes that is idiotic.
Just look at the post history, it's all shit about bobafet (Q's old cometitor) obvious this is another one of Quantik's shill accounts to manipulate opinion of his competition.
Edit: half an hour ago I was upvoted, now I'm being downvoted into oblivion within a few minutes... grab your popcorn and coats, its getting shilly in here!
