The Scent

Arguably one of the most famous blends of tea in the world, Earl Grey is believed to be named after Charles, the Second Earl Grey, and was first produced by Charlton & Co. of Jermyn St. in London around 1880. The tea is traditionally flavored with bergamot, a peppery relative of orange from Italy. Its distinctive scent had never been re-created in shaving soap until Barrister and Mann® decided to give it a go.

We blend American clary sage, bergamot, and small amounts of lavender and patchouli to create a very realistic interpretation of the smell of Earl Grey (the tea, not the man). It's our founder's favorite, and we think you'll love it too!

Net wt. 1 oz, Made in the USA

Classy and complex

This is such a pleasant and classy scent. Besides the Earl Grey tea scent, there is a delicate black pepper scent that I crave. I would love to try the Cheshire splash. If it adds to that complexity, it must be an epic product

Great Scent For Spring

Like all B&M soaps, this one lathers up great- very smooth and slick,. The scent is fresh and light, without being fruity or floral- perfect for a good Springtime shave.

Elegant!

The scent desciption already gives it away - it smells like Earl Grey tea, just without the tea (future idea - add a bit of caffeine?).
Like all B&M soaps the scent is very pronounced and the soap lathers great. Be sure to add more water for a better glide.

Surprising scent

I have nothing but good things to say about the functional, shaving portion of this soap, but to my surprise, particularly because of how much I enjoy tea, I dislike the scent.

Great samples

These samples are a generous size and a good price. Gives you a chance to try a bunch of different kinds. I got four different ones and they're big enough that you can break them in half and stick them in a shallow dish and go for quite a while. I'm very much impressed with the quality and I'm definitely convert. I think I prefer the Seville to the Cheshire but like them both. Excellent products!

Best products!

Very nice scent! I keep buying barrister and Mann for my husband because:
#1 the scent quality sticks to him and I’m selfish. I like my husband to smell delightful all day every day.
#2 because they continue to provide such high quality soaps and essentials without skipping a beat on quality. Year after year, every time we stock up!

Classy scent, outstanding performance

I tried a sample of this product from a purveyor several years ago and did not like it. Enjoying the smell of Earl Grey tea I was a bit perplexed at the time. I decided to give this one another try while ordering some other samples directly from B&M and boy am I glad I did. Omnibus is my favorite base out there at the moment and Cheshire, for me, is calm and classy scent to fill the bathroom with while I'm doing a couple passes.
