Barrister and Mann Dickens

Vegita182 · Wednesday November 27, 2013

Let me start by saying this is my first soap from this boutique soap maker but it definitely won't be my last. This Dickens scent is amazing. Hard to pinpoint all I call say is Christmas candy. The puck smells amazing but it really opens up when you put the brush to it. It's not overpowering but a delight while shaving, I find myself back in the shave den just to take a whiff. As far as lather is concerned its a little thirsty but is just so creamy smooth makes for great cushion and glide.

Don't have the Dickens but have a few of their other fragrances. Would also highly recommend B&M, very good soaps.

I've read good things about this soap maker.
A good one for a group buy Erik ? :icon_wink:
The shipping makes it expensive for UK buyers

Mr_Smartepants · Thursday November 28, 2013

Possibly. Where is the least expensive US location to buy from?

782sirbrian · Thursday November 28, 2013

I was just testing the shipping costs and it's $20 to the UK for 2 soaps and the US is $6. Doesn't mention different states or anything for shipping.

I don't believe it varies from state to state.

Was there no interest in a group buy from Barrister & Mann?

I'd be interested.

Yes, me too

I too like B&M soaps, did I just say that? No seriously, this along with my own soap I like to keep in rotation.

I have also exchanged a couple of messages with William the owner and maker of B&M soaps. He is very approachable, without speaking for him I think he would be open to support a group buy too. He does frequent this forum from time to time though not a member.

I would like to join the group buy but I don't have the time to organise anything, I have mentioned it to William and I have his email if Erik or someone else would like to organise something with William? PM me and I will pass on his details. But like I said count me in on the group buy please.

Is the group buy UK only?

Vegita182 · Monday May 19, 2014

You guys need to find an American with an APO address.

I can't see why it should exclude European folk.

I did speak with William last night and he has said he will work out some kind of postage discount for a group buy.

We've got Erik (mrsmartepants) on here, he did the Sterling one :icon_razz:

I like his Bay Rum and especially Roam. From the sampler I also quite liked Cheshire and the aftershave and could be tempted.

Very good soaps alright. Thick and creamy, easy to lather.

fancontroller · Wednesday May 21, 2014

I was interested after reading a review from BayRumDiaries in which he gives 5/5 in all categories for the Seville soap.

The Bay Rum soap would also be a candidate for me as well as the Bay Rum aftershave.
