Barrister and Mann Mélange Shaving Soap is a seasonal scent for winter and will only be available while supplies last.
Arrakis. Dune. The only source of the most valuable substance in the known universe, the one that has the power to make or break an empire: The Spice
The fundamental force underlying Frank Herbert's famously influential and notoriously complex work Dune, the Spice Mélange, often known simply as "the spice," is a powerful psychoactive that makes space travel within the story possible. Without it, the mutated navigators of the Spacing Guild cannot predict the flight paths of interstellar starships, and flying blind in such a fashion is a good way to materialize from warp space inside the heart of a star.
In case you can't tell, Barrister and Mann are huge fans of Dune so in honor of both one of their favorite novels of all time as well as its recent cinematic adaptation, they wanted to create something truly special. Thus, Mélange Shaving Soap was born, Barrister and Mann's interpretation of the scent of the spice itself. Notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, bay, musk, and desert air blend to produce an intensely spicy, all-encompassing aroma that brings to mind remote deserts, underground cultures, and the rumblings of revolution.
Please note: While Barrister and Mann have made every effort to reduce the allergen activity of Mélange, if you're very sensitive to cinnamon or other spices, I would skip this one or use it sparingly to start.
Also, please note that the unique composition of Mélange fragrance has made this shaving soap slightly sticky in texture. We recommend lighter loading practices in general, and a synthetic brush, if possible, for optimal use.

This soap demands you gird up your ***** and acquit yourself as a man. The fragrance is strong, forceful, and full of notes of leather, tobacco, coffee, frozen bearings, intense effort, and Chuck Norris. My first shave with Leviathan left me wondering if I had taken the wrong turn down a darkened alley. By my third shave, I had a better sense of where this fits into my daily drive. While Leviathan may not become my everyday drive (Seville and and Fougere Classique are current pride of place), Leviathan is a good choice for a forceful departure, a strong option when a challenging day awaits. You're probably already shaving with a better choice than a cartridge razor. So be a man. Be Leviathan.
Easy to build up a nice lather with this product. Has to be the smoothest shave I have had since switching from shaving cartridges to a double edge blade. These same attributes apply to another Barrister and Mann soap that I purchased from your company.
I just got the B&M Dune-themed 'Melange' shaving soap in the mail last night (P.S. HUGE shoutout to GrownManShave.com for being super responsive and accommodating through a shipping issue due to an error of address on my part. Thank you, Laura!). I was soo excited to get to shave with this soap today as I'm a big Dune fan (the only book I've ever read twice). I was a bit hesitant as I heard it is a very "spice-heavy" soap (for obvious reasons...the spice must flow!), and that's not usually my cup of tea, but man was I wrong! The smell is amazing, definitely stronger than my other B&M soaps, the spice sent filled the bathroom, and I liked it so much that I decided after the shave to neglect my usual B&M Seville aftershave balm because I didn't want to lose that spice sent. It's been about an hour since my shave and I can still smell it on my face - it's terrific! I think I'm going to need to pull the trigger on the Melange balm as well. If you're a Dune fan or just want to know what it would feel like to shave in the warm desert breeze on the sands of Arakis....then this soap is for you! "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear and I will permit it to pass over me and through me."
