First time using Barts shaving soap. By far the best I've tried. Lathers really well, gives a really smooth shave and great smell. Comes in a screw top tin which is perfect for storing and travelling
Absolutely lovely stuff - smells great, lathers up well and left me with a really close shave without any irritation (despite my sensitive skin).
Only tiny negative comment would be that I think it would be better to have a deeper tin for the soap to give a little more room for the lather. That said, will definitely be ordering more. Brilliant product.
Tried everything under the sun always get a sore face after shaving with a DE razor. Used Bart’s soap and after shave balm with a Parker variant razor and Astra blades. Perfect combination face feels great no soreness will buy again
This is the 4th item I’ve ordered for my husband and they’ve all been excellent. I got him the shaving soap and he loves it says it lathers really well and smells lovely. Always prompt service . Would highly recommend.
I have previously bought and was very happy with the Ben Macdui after shave balm so was interested to try the shaving soap when it was released. It is a great product - nice aroma and lathers well to facilitate a really good shave. Packaging is smart and it is easy to use when travelling. Another great product from Bart - strongly recommended.
I have enjoyed using Bart's aftershave balm before, now I have the moisturiser and feel that this product is even better. Both are excellent products produced by an excellent company to deal with. I even enjoyed the personalised business card that came with my package.
Thank you
Tom
I do like the idea this is a small independent business but ultimately it’s the product that must shine and this certainly does. I have both Ben More & Ben Lamont & love them both, soothing and a wonderful scent, everything you want from aftershave balms. I am certainly going to try the soaps next
Ben More joins my three other Bart’s Balm’s in my bathroom cabinet, each one different, but each one so lovely to use and enjoy. One of my nice daily decisions is which one to choose !!
A big bar of soap, does exactly what it should do! With a good clean fragrance and good lather. Well worth buying!
What a great aftershave balm this is guys, keeps your skin soft and smells terrific all day 10/10
Prompt delivery as with any order I've made with Bart's.
I love the uniquely styled presentation of both the moisturiser packaging and bottle itself, so would certainly make for a nice gift to anyone.
The performance is exactly as I expect from Bart's in that very little goes a very long way, and tonight, I used it as an aftershave balm meets moisturiser, and the result was a beautiful non-greasy smooth to the touch finish.
The fragrance is their 'Ben Nevis' which is based on Creed Aventus, and in the shave set-up tonight, used a sample of their as yet to be released shaving soap in the same fragrance.
Very happy with the results, and as always, my thanks to you all at Bart's.
Bought this purely after buying the Ben Nevis Shaving Balm and wishing I could get the aroma it in a cologne (au de parfum) and realising you do just that.
Lovely fresh everyday aroma that also smells great on an evening out. *****
Also got a free bar of soap, top notch, thank you 🤗
Recently shaved my beard off to participate in Movember so wanted a decent aftershave balm.
This product did not disappoint at all.
Quality packaging and a great product that smells awesome, reminiscent of a quality aftershave.
Soothes the skin and a little goes a long way so what may appear has a 'pricey' product to some is actually a great value. Easily recommended*****
I'm a Highlander married to a Londoner and we live in Somerset. My Husband is critically unwell and now has dementia which means we are unable to make it home. He is delighted with your product which is balm to his Soul as well as his chin. Thankyou for a wee sniff of home
