I just received & used a sample of the new Barrister & Mann seasonal shaving soap Eigengrau. Now before I tell you my opinion I want to "set the table" by saying two things: firstly, their soaps are easily in the top five best shaving soaps in the World IMO; second, their scents can be controversial and often are either love or hate with no middle ground.
Eigengrau, upon whiffing the small tub, shares DNA with another soap of theirs that I despise for the scent: Fougere Gothique. That said I was not real optimistic before using. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong as upon lathering I was engulfed in a simply beautiful cool iris scent like no other!! I've never smelled another shaving soap like it. Really, really novel.
Of course, their Excelsior soap base can only be matched by a mere few performancewise as well. Big thumbs up!!
