Dangit. Now I want cool. I don’t need any more soap.

I would like to know what the others are based on as well. Especially waves.

So I received the shaving soap today and I REALLY like the scent. It’s very close to the scent of Floid after shave you would find in Italy. I am glad I didn’t get the Classic scent like I initially wanted as it closely resembles the old spice my grandfather used to use. Does anyone know what the other scents are supposed to replicate?
I haven’t shaved with it yet but did a test lather and boy was this just about the easiest soap I have ever used. Nice slick gooey lather.

Congrats!! So glad you listened to ... ahem ... me!

I have not tried WK as I believe their formula contains lanolin and Im sensitive to it. In the few times that I used Resere Fern, the reserve soap has become my favorite shaving soap. I swung by the WCS retial locstion this Monday as I was quite close to it and picked up a tub of Reserve lavender which smells incredible. I also have a lightly used set of Reserve Waves coming to me next week from a trade done on another forum.

Your welcome!
I really hope Will at B&M never stops making the Reserve line, or never changes the formula as it is just excellent in every way IMO.

I couldn’t put my finger on what waves smelled like. I like it now, and I Knew it was familiar, but......

Wild rain deodorant is one reason I abandoned “newer” scents in ‘06 and took up traditional shaving.
