Barrister & Mann New Soap Base

On 15 Nov. the U.S. artisan soap maker Barrister & Mann is introducing a brand spanking new soap base called Excelsior. Here is their blog description in extreme detail: https://www.barristerandmann.com/blogs/mannscents/on-the-subject-of-excelsior

For those of you who have used B&M soaps you know that it is top shelf and in the words of one top reviewer "the Great White Shark" of the shaving soap World. The first soap to be introd on the 15th is now available in samples from Maggard and is called Vespers: http://www.maggardrazors.com/produc...vespers-aftershave-and-soap-samples-seasonal/

I have a sample of the soap and AS on order and as soon as I try it I will post my subjective opinion. This is an important market move in the eyes of many as there are a few other top artisan makers in the USA breathing hard down the neck of B&M, i. e., Wholly Kaw and Ariana & Evans to be specific.
 
Exciting news.
Whilst not keen on the reserve range, the glissant versions are a firm fave of mine.

I understand the update, as I have noticed a few soaps with better performance, such as Noble Otter, but I'm yet to find another soap where the fragrance is as complex or unusual.

A&E are at least as good as (prior) B&M soaps and their scents are strong and simply w/o peer IMO. Buy with confidence. Don't know if they ship to the UK however. :confused:

Just tried Vespers today. Excellent base but the fragrance is tbc for me. I have the remnants of a cold, so not picking up the subtle aspects of the fragrance, and initially do not like it at all. Fingers crossed I will post cold.

The base, in my opinion is better than my other Barrister & Mann, Noble Otter, Australian Private reserve, Stirling, L&L and Wholly Kaw I have in my rotation. Really impressed.
