Beaudelaire (Barrister & Mann) licorice fougère
Shave 12 ・ 171 g left
Today I shaved with the Glissant version of this soap, dating from 2016 or 2017. My, how Barrister & Mann’s bases have improved. That’s not to say that this was a bad shave. Far from it. But compared to Omnibus’s goopy lather, Glissant is airy, stiff, and lofty. It’s like shaving with a meringue.

What's old hat to y'all
Is new to me.
Scent strength is still fairly robust in this well-used tub. Even some top notes have persisted: this is the brightest and most accessible of the (three) AION/GD soaps I've owned.
The Vetiver Guerlain very much mirrors both the citrus and greenery.
However much you may acquire, you will always wish to acquire more; satiety is a dream which will always elude you. — Bertrand Russell on shaving soap
