Yes, another great product line to carry at Razor Emporium. B&M is one of my favorite soap companies and you mention some other top shelf selections as well. Super performing and unique scents make this a quality choice anytime. PAA, Sterling, Ariana & Evans, TOBS ETC., ETC., the list goes on and on right. So many to choose from and so little time to do so. Thanks again Matt, see ya soon.
Barrister and Mann was my first true love when I got introduced to wet shaving years back! They have some of the most unique scent formations available and their products perform great!!!
Barrister and Mann did release a few special edition and seasonal fragrances at times, too, like Fougere Gothique, Fougere Angelique, Promises, and Dickens (and Dickens Revisited). Out of a lot of shave products that I've used, B&M has some of the most niche-leaning scents that I've tried with very interesting notes in their scents. Both them and Southern Witchcrafts have products that are certainly off the beaten path! 😁
Nice collection and what I really like is that they have a splash, balm and shave soap for all scents. Cremo dropped the ball because they don't make products to match all of their scents. You buy a sandalwood cream, but they don't have a sandalwood balm. Or a soap to match. You buy the oak barrel soap or body wash and there is not matching shaving cream. It's very annoying because who wants to use a sandalwood shaving cream on top of an oak barrel body wash after shampooing with a birch shampoo? No one does. This week I tried my first tallow based shave cream/soap and enjoyed it, but I did notice that for me to clear the razor I had to use hot water. As a cold shaver I've been enjoying Van der Hagen shave soap because it easily rinses clean in cold water. It's really not that big of a deal to switch over to hot for a rinse, but I'm worried that maybe I'm doing something wrong. Oh, and one more thing....I love that they don't put cloves in their Bay Rum. Cloves are just too strong. :)
Seville is absolutely perfect. It's in my top 3. The lemon is not sweet like lemonade, but a savory lemon that was squeezed onto a plate of spicy food.
Top tier base. Rich and Thirsty with great post shave moisturization. Scents I like - Seville, le grand chypre, waves. Nordost is an excellent seasonal scent. RE is really expanding.
Great review, Matt! I only recently had gotten Full Measure of Man (soap and AS) from B&M because it was being discontinued and I am a sucker for tobacco scented soaps. It lathered great and the scent of sweet tobacco lasted a long time. This is a good indicator of the quality of B&M products. Looking forward to purchasing Seville and Spice products from you soon! 😊👊
I remember getting a sample set of the first Reserve soap lineup. Spice and Cool fragances were so close to their inspirations, but the biggest surprise was Classic! I had never smelled Gillette Sun Up but Classic made such a huge impression… I hope B&M bring it back sometime 🙏🏻
Best splashes on the market. Period. I've gone through bottles of Waves and Cool, and currently have Spice and Cologne Russe in my shave den. (picked up Cologne Russe when I found out it was being discontinued, which is a travesty, but what can you do)

I need to try one of these my first soap from them was their newer one called Marylin but it was a disappointment for me because I had heard so much good about b&m and it stunk unfortunately
Just got la grande chypre the other day. It smells good. Honestly it smells like duet cola if you just sniff it without examining the different notes and complexity.

Thanks for the info!
Loved this product spotlight Matt! I love that a balm is offered with each soap:)

I also appreciate how they don't flood you with too many choices and cover art. They keep it straight to the point with what they have.
I love Lavanille the scent made shaving all the more relaxing and enjoyable. Can't wait to try the other ones
Absolutely love my Marilyn scented shave soap and splash. One of my favorites.
I have been a B&M customer since he started. No one takes more scent risks than Will.

I'm almost done with Lavanille, I know which one I'm getting next now haha

Spice is my favorite. I was gifted with the whole line for Christmas. Glad to know that you are carrying it now.
Le Grand Chypre has a fabulous scent with excellent performance. The Omnibus base is lanolin free which can be an irritant to some.
I remember getting a sample set of the first Reserve soap lineup. Spice and Cool fragances were so close to their inspirations, but the biggest surprise was Classic! I had never smelled Gillette Sun Up but Classic made such a huge impression… I hope B&M bring it back sometime 🙏🏻
B&M also has a barbershop inspired soap named Cool and it is my go to daily driver, a true classic clean scent!
Scooped up the Earl gray soap along with your tallow sample bundle. Looking to see how tallow soap performs.

Great review and a very nice and highest quality label. I love BM
