First Balm
Use the splashes routinely, but this is my first balm. Scent is strong and lasts all day, and the balm base is incredible. Drastically reduces razor burn and leaves my skin feeling super soft.

Scent was disappointing
Typically, I love everything from B & M, but I say with a heavy heart that I was not thrilled by the balm. The scent lingers very pleasantly throughout the day, and isn't as bad after applying it, but it's just too sweet otherwise. Very syrupy smell. I was hoping it would have a similar smell to the hand and body soap, which is why I fell in love with it in the first place. I plan on ordering the splash to see if it's any different.

Scent of a man
It knocked me out of the water. According to my wife it leaves a trail of sexiness as i walk by. IM GOOD WITH THAT! So i immediately purchased a 2nd one!

Smoky tobacco
I purchased both the shave soap and the balm and the scent is delightful. A previous review mentioned a bourbon smell, I detected more of a rich tobacco scent. Good stuff indeed.

The Best
Love the scent. Possibly my top favorite tobacco-heavy scent. And the balm was great, as all my B&M balm purchases have been. The matching soap is fantastic in itself. It “face lathers” incredibly well. And the bowl lather (if you have a bit more time) is also fantastic. Cannot recommended it enough.
