Barrister and Mann Reserve Lavender Beard Oil

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."

As stated in my review, this stuff smells amazing!!

As the title says this soap smells almost exactly like Juicy Fruit! The Omnibus base is unmatched on the market currently and I can’t say enough good things about the cushion it provides! Only way for you to understand what I’m talking about is to buy it for yourself and find out!

Second purchase of this, limited run, I wanted to be sure I had enough!

I was gifted the 42 shave soap and splash. I enjoyed the fragrance enough I purchased the rest of the collection. It probably didn't hurt that I'm a Douglas Adams fan!

I think this is spot on for caramel corn if you apply it lightly. If you put too much on, it goes in a different direction and I don't think you want to go there, that's where the bad kernels live. Anyway it compliments the soap nicely.

My second purchase of this soap. I liked it enough to buy another puck.

I bought this initially because of the tie-in to Douglas Adams. I bought it again because I loved the scent. I get Petunias, Lemon, and Sugar in a well blended scent that leaves me feeling refreshed after the shave. Go on, you know you wanna...

42. Of course it is. I own both the splash and now the balm in this scent. I have not used the balm long enough to chose between them but I'll tell you, if you like the soap, you'll like this balm (and the splash). Now I'm off to that restaurant at the end of somewhere... I hope I can afford the gas.
