Of the possible selections I voted Excelsior, but Soft Heart (also called PP-8) is even better. It might be the best in my den

Fascinating! I always thought the Battle of New Orleans was the last of the fighting. Learn something (actually two things, from you) new every day.
Have my first ever B&M product on the way- the Reserve Cool. Anyone know how it compares to the Seville? Seems they’d be pretty similar? Excited to try it.

Not similar at all. Cool is a clone of Floid Blu — an absolutely brilliant scent. You’ll love it.

It's a different base, too. All B&M soaps, however, perform well. Add a lot of water.
I voted for excelsior though I haven't tried the other barrister and mann bases. It is a very good base without any weaknesses.
Whenever I see excelsior I think of it as stan Lee's motto. There was also the name of the massive Starfleet vessel that pursued he enterprise in star trek III but had a engine malfunction.

I love the containers the reserve line come in. They're my favorite of any soap container.
What do they look like? And please don't post a photo, it won't help me as a blind person. You'll have to describe them. I think my personal fave container is the Whiskey Soap container from, I think Portland soap? I could be wrong, but there's something about the size of that container that's really great, plus the scent brings back memories, despite it not really being a whiskey scent at all. I have never bought a full puck of a B&M soap, though, I was going to before they discontinued the Latha line. Boy did I like that original scent in that line.

They're all solid black except for the colored symbol in the center of the lid. This symbol varies by scent. "Reserve: Cool", for example is solid black with a side profile blue rose made of clean angles and mostly straight lines in the shape of a flower, if that makes sense. So it's not a solid blue picture of a flower so much as geometrical blue lines making the shape of a flower on a black backdrop. Very clean. Very minimalist. Each scent has a different shape in the center. Reserve Classic has a yellow eagle behind a shield that kind of looks like the seal of the United States on a black backdrop. Reserve Lavender has a violet trident on a black backdrop. Reserve Spice has a red anchor on a black backdrop, Reserve Waves are two grey horizontal squiggly lines with a straight horizontal grey line parallel and underneath the two squiggly lines on a black backdrop and Reserve Fern has a green crown on a black backdrop.
Size wise they're the same size, or very nearly the same size as Noble Otter containers and the transparent Maggards containers. Wide and shallow.
