Barrister and MannShaving Soap | Luxury Dense, Rich & Creamy Lather Tallow Wet Shave Puck Notes of Lavender, Vanilla, Cedar, Leathery Musk | High Performance Grooming Routine for Men 4 Oz (Lavanille)

I am relatively new to shaving with a DE razor. I wanted a fresh-smelling yet classic barbershop scent, and I saw reviews of this soap. There are lots of layers with this soap: citrus, spices, and barbershop powdery notes. It keeps changing while you shave, and it lingers a little bit after you have shaven. I plan to add the aftershave and the balm since they would combine well with my other soaps without clashing. The texture of the lather is excellent, and it builds very quickly. It leaves a comfortable feel after shaving. It is a high-quality product, and it feels deliciously luxurious. I will try other scents by B&M in the future.

Great smell. Creamy consistency. Lathers well.

Woah, this stuff is STRONG scented. Which is great for me (Ever since I got covid, my sense of smell has been kind of diminished) so for me, this smells how shaving soaps used to smell before I got sick, which is great, but I can definitely see how someone might get overwhelmed by the strength.I tried the soap and really loved the scent. It kind of reminds me of licorice root herbal tea, it's a very nice woodsy, spicy masculine scent. Builds up a nice -dense- but not heavy lather which I prefer. Got no nicks or cuts.

Overall happy with soapy consistency and smell is great. When shaving your looking for something to provide lubricant to shaving.

The Barrister's Spice, like other Barrister and Mann soaps, easily produces a great lather. I also have B&M Seville and the Reserve line is even better in performance. You do have to be careful when loading your brush so that you do not get too much soap; a little goes a long way. If you load too much soap, you will get a gooey mess. There is no need to bloom the puck before loading. This is a very thirsty soap that holds a lot of water, but add the water a little at a time until you get just the right combination of slickness and cushion. You will be rewarded well for your patience. Performance is definitely 5-star.The scent is supposed to be a clone of classic Old Spice by Shulton. I used the classic aftershave as a young man, but I cannot tell you whether the Spice soap is an exact match; but it is close. The scent is fairly strong and the aroma will linger on your face well after the shave is completed. Thus, you won't need a scented aftershave or cologne after using this one. I would have given this soap 5 stars, but the scent was just a little stronger than I would have preferred. If I were younger, I probably would have loved it.

Great scent that lingers subtly for hours. The cream is smooth for shaving. It takes a lot more water to get the lather to thicken than other shaving soaps, so use more than you'd expect.

This lathers up nice, has good sickness and smells great! Would highly recommend 👌

This smells like old musty gym clothes that you left in a sealed container for 3 weeks. It's actually revolting. I tried using it for a week to see if maybe I just needed to get used to it but had to throw it out because I couldn't stand to smear this on my face.
