The Perfect soap
I have been using B&M Soap, and the As., for about 4 years now and love it ! Then came the Reserve Line, including the Spice. I love the old school scent they used, 1957 Old Spice. To me I love it! It reminds me of Members of my Family. Now the Performance. When Lathered correctly It is slick as it can be. The Lather stays on my brush for application perfectly and dose not dissipate away. Scent, Smells just wonderful, and it lasts for a while. My friends say its "Old School" and that's what I like, Classic scent for a Classic Shave. Greg Jackson
Beyond impressed
I have loved all the B&M products I've used so far. The scents and performance have always been fantastic. I recently used my sample of the Spice Reserve line soap and I am totally blown away. I have particularly hard water and B&M soaps have always been the best performers, but the new Reserve base blew me away. It was even more creamy and slick than anything else I have used and the shave performance was exceptional. The scent is a little strong for me but it is very spicy, smooth and classic. I would recommend the Reserve line to anyone and am so excited to try the other scents as well!
The Best Incarnation of Old Spice
I've always enjoyed the various takes different artisans have on the always classic Old Spice scent. But this one is something special. The current mass market available version of the scent is much more synthetic and musk heavy compared to this one. This version is more well balanced and smells very natural with more of the sweet and spicy notes hanging out front and center as opposed to the more musk heavy variations. I really love this version of the scent and I will be keeping it around in my shave den as long as I can. The performance of the BR base is nothing short of exceptional. It has excellent slickness and seems to tolerate a very wide range of hydration. I think this may be the soap base I recommend to people looking to get into soaps due to its user friendliness. Fantastic stuff all around.
All I can say is WOW!
I attended the shave meet at Maggard Razors this year and was able to snag a jar of this exceptional soap. This is my first B&M but will not be my last! This is a creamy rich lather that has incredible slickness and glide. I just finished a shave using my Merkur 34C with Astra Super Paltinum blades. All I can say is WOW. The razor glided across my face and the stubble just disappeared. No irritation and a close BBS shave. I have to beg off giving a review of the scent. I lost my sense of smell some time ago and can only imagine how great it must smell. My wife thoroughly enjoys the smell and that's good enough for me.
A Definite Go-To Soap
This soap is one that I have grown quite fond of. It's one I find myself reaching for more often than others. It has a classic, manly scent and produces a terrific lather. I think it should be a staple in any man's shaving den.
