I have to say, the new base is awesome. The old base is really nice also but much more difficult to lather if you have very hard water. Glissant solves this problem, adds a bit more slickness (or rather, makes it easier to adjust), and has a nicer post-shave feel.

Hi Will, I keep seeing posts on DFS where people refer to your "glissant" line of soaps.  What are they talking about? I went and looked at your website at the ingredients lists and at the description of your latest release and can't find any reference to glissant  I thought I'd peruse your DFS thread to see if you'd mentioned it but there's over 50 pages of posts and I don't have that much time.  I'm sorry if you've already covered this ground and its my own inability to retain information but I'm curious about this glissant.
Thanks,
Mark

It's the new soap base we used in Le Grand Chypre, 2015 Fireside, and Night Music. Slicker, easier to lather, hard water resistant. We'll be moving the rest of our line over to the new base over the course of the year.

Thanks Will, kwsher reminded me what it was ....and also that I'm more forgetful now than I used to be.  At least I suspect so but I couldn't tell you for sure, my memory being what it is.  LGC is a slick soap for sure, although I seem to recall all of your soaps being slick, not quite as much as LGC but really nice.  I have a water softener installed.  
Cheers,
Mark (I think )

I just got my Night Music from Italian Barber and from my first inhalation of the scent I can say, this is going to be good I've got some Leviathan / Hallows / Nocturn neurons firing off in my nose brain which is good because I love all of those.
Thanks Will

I quite like the scent of Night Music out of the tub too. I expect it will be even better once lathered. We shall see!

I just used it this morning and it did not disappoint - really nice. I enjoyed it from start to finish through to the splash and I'm still enjoying it an hour later.
Great job Will.

Got my Night music soap yesterday from B&M. That's only a week from US to Sweden. Fantastic!
Tried it today and found it a little to much musik in The beginning but on The skin it is great and my wife like it
Thanks Will!

Will, I notice that the Night Music soap is a swirl of two different colours of soap, light and dark - are they the same soap coloured differently or two different soaps?

Same soap colored differently due to oxidation of the vanillin, same as Lavanille.

OK, thanks, it looks quite different than Lavanille - when you look through the transparent side of the container its looks like 2 different colours were stirred together like a chocolate and vanilla ice cream swirl. It must start oxidizing quickly, like before its even poured into the containers.

That's how my Lavanille looks.
