Description

Every year, the Christmas Market of Goslar, Germany opens in late November to international acclaim. Arguably the most famous Christmas Market in the world, the idyllic setting and beautiful forest of lit fir trees have captured the imaginations of artists and dreamers alike for hundreds of years.

Barrister and Mann is proud to be among them.

Vespers is the product of a specific picture, the image of a quaint mountain town in late December, snow falling gently on the peaked roofs, lights twinkling in the square. As one of the historic meeting places of Lower Saxony, we felt it necessary to incorporate our legendary version of Mousse de Saxe ("Saxon Moss"), in all its velvety darkness, into any fragrance representative of the village. Onto this we layered cranberry, cardamom, balsam, and a fern accord for a spicy-jammy-forest character. Patchouli, rose, sandalwood, and bergamot round out the rough edges to produce a scent one might expect to waft from a merrymaking hall on a chill evening. Vespers is the ultimate comfort scent for the dark months and we're very excited to release it this winter.

Net Wt. 4 oz, Made in the USA

Directions for Use

Wet your shaving brush well, then swirl it around the jar for roughly thirty seconds or until a rich, creamy lather is formed. Continue building the lather by adding water and swirling your brush either on your face or in a lathering bowl. Shave, rinse, and spend your day feeling great.

Vespers has secured its place as one of my all-time favorite holiday fragrances. Just as described, it perfectly evokes the feeling of a rustic Christmas market. It’s complex, well balanced, and avoids the pitfall of smelling like a Yankee candle. The Omnibus soap base is the best available, and makes a fantastic lather.

Favorite scent for the holidays

I’ve smelled many holiday scents in the wetshaving world, but none of them affect me in the same way that vespers does. This is a beautiful, rich scent that will transport you directly to a Christmas market in Germany. It has a wonderful complexity to it that keeps me coming back for more! Great job Will!

A comforting experience

Vespers is a great shave soap. I enjoyed the scent so much I purchased the matching AS as well. The lather is easy to create with any brush I use ( badger, boar, or synthetic ). It hold plenty of water so it is always slick, and has enough structure to still be protective.

Favorite B&M Shave Soap

Vespers is easily my favorite of all the B&M soaps that I’ve purchased to date. The mousse de Saxe is the most noticeable note here but overall Vespers has a nice richness without being too dark smelling or “moody” smelling. Can be used year round, with the lone exception being hot/humid days, but excellent for remainder of year, particularly for colder or cooler months.
