Barrister and Mann: A Tale of Two Soaps, aka, The Great, Good, and VERY UGLY

[Galaktus]

I just checked the B&M website. Leviathan back in stock, as is Latha. Well, now they are down 1 each.

How dare you sir. You take that back right now [emoji1]

Too funny!

HA! Funny how YMMV, to me Dickens is not at all Christmas, more summer to me. And Im digging Latha, but the splash is a little more floral then I typically enjoy.
Funny!

It smells like a retirement home after "Taco Night".

Gentlemen, I think we have a custom title here....

Last night I watched a video on YouTube by Chris Bailey (Traditional Shaving Evangelist) in which he tried to describe the fragrance of Latha -- but couldn't. He said he was going to shave with it today and then post a video about the shave.

I have tried almost all of the different B&M tallow scents and they're all wonderful. I have a puck of Roam right now. I also just received my first Tre Citta soap, Vetyver Santal, yesterday and am very impressed with it so far. I saw Latha on the site and was instantly not interested. I don't need or want my B&M soap built to a price point.

That said, I'll be interested to see what others have to say about it.

A wonderful YMMV thread.

 

[RunFoxRun]

Awesome. I couldn't stop laughing.

What is with these ambiguous reviews? Sir, come clean and tell us how you feel about these soaps!

Yeah, I really like his videos (very frank and honest), but has trouble describing scents a lot ;-) He also couldn't describe the scent of B&M Hallows other than saying it's "dark" in a video a few months ago, and just this week, same with a Dapper Dragon soap (Signature IIRC).
