Great soap choice.. SC is often overlooked these days.

Am I correct in remembering the Barbershop not being very barbershop-esque. I want to say it was much more sweet smelling? Obviously it's been a while, lol.

It’s not a bad soap at all.... I think the guys who flock to the latest and greatest wouldn’t care for it though. Much left to be desired post residual slickness, but it doesn’t bother me as I slap on a balm then splash. 🤷‍♂️
Scent wise, it’s almost identical to Maggards London barbershop. I don’t think it’s sweet, I’m not sure how to explain it well... maybe more green or earthy smelling, at least as much as you would find in the barbershop genre.🧐
Plus they have been around a long while, support good causes, and that 6 oz lasts forever 👍

Transition day shave. Today ended a 20 year career, and began a part time adventure at my daughters elementary school allowing me to give more focus to my family and the ministry.

Razor: Karve SB-B brass
Blade: Spoiler (3)
Brush: Brad Sears Ebonite badger
Soap & Splash: B&M Vespers

Ahh, thanks! I must be remembering a different one. I had a few samples when I made my first order from SC (year and a half ago, maybe?). One of them was sweet, and I didn't expect it. Lol.

I agree, a good bargain and plenty good performance. Not the best, but I don't recall having any problems with my tub of Vision. Also, if I recall (this is how infrequently I use any one of my soaps), it get slicker (not more diluted) with added water... Thirsty SOB.

Not as thirsty as I’m used to at least. Last night I added less water than my usual suspects and it performed better.... I’m guessing there isn’t a wide margin of water error with SC? 🤔
It seems they make them there fancy pants soaps idiot proof ( no offense meant, just saying, the newer bases don’t require voodoo, black magic, sacrifice, etc. to work as intended .... Williams, Mitchell’s wool fat, I’m lookin’ at you!😡)

Excellent soap! Super nice scent suitable for a lazy weekend. Creamy and slick too...
Shave with an excellent razor paired with excellent blade was very nice! Settings at 9-wtg, 7-xtg, 7-atg & 5-some buffing. Smooth and comfortable for a mostly bbs to dfs result. Excellent post & aftershave especially with Whisky Wood for a looong lasting scent. Unexpected creeper so rating 9.5/10 otherwise would have been perfect.....
