All of this sounds amazing Will... now the problem is figuring out how to afford buying the first three scents upon release and the 2 to be released at a later date.

Why the decision to crowd fund?
Primarily publicity and overall production cost. IndieGoGo projects tend to garner wide attention and, while we've purchased all of the materials necessary for the initial production run and they're sitting at the production lab, we still need the capital required to actually have the stuff made (which would be quite a financial hit if we were to do it all at once).

We're planning to make them a permanent production line, so there's no rush.

This means more competition to get a tub of Hallows this fall Sorry, as a lawyer I'm trained to see the risks in everything

I'm still waiting on my shipping confirmation. Â I look forward to hearing your opinion of the soap.
I just shaved with it a few minutes ago. Performance was excellent as is expected with B&M. The scent is really nice. I smell lemon and floral at the same time, and neither note dominates the other. I know there is more going on than that, but that is what I get.
The label is awesome. It's the same type as Night Music, with the glossy feel and the ingredients are on the back, which you can see through the transparent lid. Night Music was my favorite label from B&M, thus it was nice to see 42 using the same type.

Well, not quite. IndieGoGo will be used for Barrister's Reserve, but we will be doing the same thing we did for 42 for Hallows: pre-sale, shipment to vendors, additional batches, the works.
