My Barrister and Mann Full Measure of Man is still in the mail and due Monday. Your review has me even more anxious to receive this one. It sounds very good. Yes. Yes, the Max Sprecher 9/8 near wedge IS the most beautiful razor you own. There, it's settled. Lol Seriously though, that razor is absolutely functional art. Incredible! Cheers! -Rob
Haha, thanks Rob - I guess it is. I’m m sure you’ll like it, it’s a unique take a tobacco fragrance, for sure. Definitely unlike most of what’s around.
Can’t believe no one has reviewed the new Omnibus base , just ordered this soap & Leviathan , Leviathan is in their new base . Haven’t tried their balm yet , but they do have killer after shave splashes /IMO . Beautiful brush & blade , have a great weekend !
Nice shave Jack love the brush and razor. I had this in my cart Saturday but did not pull the trigger and I am kicking myself for it. Have a great week
As always, I approach a scent category from B+M with an eager open mind. So, I'm very, VERY glad to hear that their take on a tobacco(ish) scent is different. Would this one be frag worthy? Lastly, 'Alcohol-free splashes for the win'. With balms not being an available option before, they kind of feel like a 'stop-gap' attempt to fill the void of not having a 'set'. . Stunning razor by the way. Thanks for sharing your time. 🤝👊✌
I think this one could be pulled of as a frag, it’s difficult to tell as there’s no ‘journey’ - a scent in a soap will stay linear whereas a fragrance can change on your skin over the space of a few hours.
Great Video Jack🪒💈 I don’t think I had one soap by B&M I didn’t like new release or old 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Great Razor by Max🪒 and brush, prefer old logo of TRD brush but hey who I am to say... I’m enjoying my Karve plate SB-C very much now perfect shave every time. Take care Alan H And no Jack Daniels whiskey Jack 🥃
I also prefer the old That Darn Rob Coin but the chisel and hound is alright. The brush feels great on the face though! Happy to see you’re still enjoying the Karve.
@@TheVirtualGroomroom Hi Jack I enjoy my Karve 🪒💈 dearly as always haven’t changed my mind nor I will I have been Loyal to Karve from day #1 and Big Fan.. Of all razors I can choose my hand always reaches to Karve, followed by Wolfman which I don’t have yet and my CG Everyday & Level 2. I would love someday to get Titanium and Aluminum Karve among with my Karve Nutmeg Brush 💈👍🏼 I appreciate how Chris does machining & precision and very meticulous with his Razors. Take care Alan H P.S. I have CG SS with Maze Handle and looking to trade for Hammered if anyone you might knot let me know plz. imgur.com/gallery/APsgSrT
@@TheVirtualGroomroom oh ok. The scales on that cutthroat are incredible! I'd be afraid of dropping it or scuffing it so it'd probably end up more for display in my den lol
Curious...have you ever been to a cigar club? Does it smell like a smoking cigar or someone who was smoking a pipe? Or is it more like the plant itself? Because I don’t want to smell like a cigar or pipe smoker who just put down his stogey or pipe!
I have no idea what mousse de sacs might smell like but I have an order of this soap on the way and can't wait to experience it
I’m in love with the brush, such perfect old school aesthetic way better performance.

Great shave Jack! Glad you enjoyed the soap as well. Love the Sprecher and the brush you used.
Hey Raza, thanks for kind words. The scent is unique, unlike anything around at the moment.
Just picked this up and had a shave with it all I get is maple
Thanks for sharing Jack! I’m
Very much looking forward to this scent when it arrives
I’m sure you’re gonna enjoy it!

I don't think a lot of people are a fan of the scent.
@@TheVirtualGroomroom I can see that , I wasn’t at first , but then it grew on me . It’s one of the few soaps that I got that actually get re-bought .

New subscriber, enjoy your take on B&M Measure of a Man I always enjoy B&M scents.
Nice review
Beautiful razor!
Thanks man
Good stuff man! 🙌🏼
Thanks Serge! Hope you’re well.
When I think of mousse de saxe and Barrister and Mann, I think of Vespers.
That’s another one that contains it, he loves that note

@@TheVirtualGroomroom 'no journey'.....Fair point there. Especially when the 'dry down' plays such a large part of what makes a well made fragrance.

Which B&M soap has the strongest staying power in terms of scent in your opinion?
This one is definitely up there
That Max looks great. Wonder why the Chief is selling his?
I’m not sure, maybe he just isn’t using them
Do you hone the blade yourself?
No I have a honer do it.
@@TheVirtualGroomroom oh ok. The scales on that cutthroat are incredible! I'd be afraid of dropping it or scuffing it so it'd probably end up more for display in my den lol
It definitely is protective. Can't feel the blade alot of the time. Its why I don't use excelsior to test blades lol
I’ve found the same thing. I’ve found that there tends to be less blade feel when using excelsior - it’s actually pretty unique.
@@TheVirtualGroomroom Id wager its the xanthan gum
I don't care for green scents so should I stay away from this one?
Curious...have you ever been to a cigar club? Does it smell like a smoking cigar or someone who was smoking a pipe? Or is it more like the plant itself? Because I don’t want to smell like a cigar or pipe smoker who just put down his stogey or pipe!
Great question, it is leaning more to the pipe tobacco scent than the tobacco flower. It’s not sweet and has that earthiness of actual tobacco.
