Barrister and Mann

Thanks wyze0ne looking at the Adagio now,looks like I may like that one!!!Hopefully someone will chime in on the CR before I put my order in sometime today.

I can't see if I recommended a B&M soap but if I didn't then, apart from recommending all of them, I think Leviathan is very special and I believe is still available.

Actually, Leviathan's the Autumn seasonal, so it will be back in September.

Went ahead and put in a order for the Adagio and the Latha Oceana,went back and forth on the Oceana and Limon but after looking over my soaps and noticing the abundance of citrus scents I thought I would change it up a bit.I hope I have chosen wisely,looking forward to them!!Thanks for the suggestions.

Good choices! Thank you very much, WVHDRyder!

I own 10 soaps from B&M, the one i love most is Night Music.... but i even have not dare to use it by now, lol. I´ll wait for a very special moment because it is such an complex, marvelous noble scent. Next favorite is Leviathan.

latha oceana smells great, imho.

I also placed an order for Adagio this weekend.    The scent is absolutely fascinating.   I look like an idiot with my nose stuck in the soap.

I can't wait to get my nose out of there and actually use it to shave.  

I'm  tempted to order the aftershave.   Does anyone know if this AS has staying power?   I usually prefer aftershaves with long lasting scents.

Less staying power than our others, but still a few hours. This is by design, though; heavy, strong scents tend to be offensive in the Summer, so this was designed to be a bit lighter and easier on the nose.

I found that I prefer the scent of the AS over the soap, but only slightly. To my nose, the AS has a nice clean light cologne scent that lasts for a few hours. My current favorite, and absolutely refreshing for summer. I'm seriously tempted to order another set because I will probably use this as a pretty regular scent.

My B&M soaps arrived and I went with the Adagio first.Very nice soap once I got the water ratio dialed in,very thirsty soap,maybe more so than Stirling soaps.Very slick and protective,with a fantastic post shave feel.The only knock I would have is against the scent.It's not a bad scent at all,just not a scent that I would normally use/choose.I am sure it will grow on me though as I use it.
Funny thing though,to me the scent is similar to the way Diet Dr. Pepper tastes.I'm strange like that but that's what came to mind while I was using it.Over all it is a keeper for sure!!

If you use it two or three times in a row, I bet you'll like it. If not, PM me and I'll arrange to take it off your hands

I've now used my new container of Arctique soap just four times, and I seem to be using up the soap far faster than any other B&M soap I have owned. I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing a similar occurrence, and if Will has an explanation for this. I'm definitely not overloading my brush as after three passes, I am not left with an excess of lather. I have used around a dozen different scents of B&M soap over the past two to three years, and have never used so much soap in such short a time. Here's a couple of pics showing remaining soap after just four shaves. In the first pic, you can start to see daylight through the base in one spot. I have a reserve container, just received. Perhaps I need to order another one, or two, at this rate!
